Georgian Government

Irakli Kobakhidze: I want to thank the five countries that voiced a position in support of the Georgian people at the Council of the European Union. These are 🇭🇺 Hungary, 🇸🇰 Slovakia, 🇮🇹 Italy, 🇪🇸 Spain, and 🇷🇴 Romania. They defended the interests of the Georgian people at the Council of the European Union

Statement by the Government of Georgia
As you know, the Governments of Lithuania and Estonia have made a decision to impose sanctions on about 20 representatives of Georgia’s authorities, including the Prime Minister of Georgia.

The Georgian authorities have the right and ability to counter the anti-Georgian decision of the Governments of Lithuania and Estonia with reciprocal measures. However, because of respect for the Lithuanians and the Estonians, we believe it unreasonable to take said step. We have decided to remain in the mode of unilateral friendship with both states lest we, on our part, undermine the traditional friendship between the people of Georgia, Estonia, and Lithuania.

It is widely known that Estonia and Lithuania are states whose sovereignty is presently the most limited across the EU, and whose Governments act on instructions from the administration of a foreign country, not in the interests of their own people, the main reason why the Governments of these states are forced to act against their own dignity. Unfortunately, despite 33 years of independence, the authorities of Lithuania and Estonia have yet to break free of the soviet mentality.

We wish our friendly Estonian and Lithuanian people stronger sovereignty and all the best in the year 2025!

Irakli Kobakhidze: Our foreign policy priorities are clearly defined, including on a constitutional level. Although we have our red lines, we are nonetheless ready to do everything for Georgia to become an EU member state

Irakli Kobakhidze: We are a government elected by the people, and we must talk to the people; we are ready for talks with both our supporters and those that may have sided with the radical opposition

Irakli Kobakhidze: With Mikheil Kavelashvili as President, the institution of the presidency will reclaim its constitutional mission and dignity. I wish success to Mikheil Kavelashvili in the capacity of President of Georgia
