MEPs address the Georgian authorities and note that they are observing the process of Rustavi2. The statement, signed by 9 European Parliamentarians, says that it is important that Georgia maintain pluralist media.
""We have followed the effort to change ownership of Rustavi2, the country’s most popular TV channel, and taken note of concerns expressed by interlocutors such as the OSCE Representative on Media Freedom.
We remain committed supporters of Georgia and its democratic, European future. However, the responsibility of ensuring that Georgia’s progress continues primarily rests on those whom the Georgian people elected to govern their country”, says the letter signed by MEPs.
