The Georgian government’s decision to refuse EU assistance and conditions raises questions about the future of Georgia and the rule of law, which is necessary to protect every citizen. Such a statement made Jim Risch, a leading Republican member of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

In the interview to the Voice of America he also talked about the need to protect the spirit of the April 19 agreement.

“Both parties should work to create a better political environment. It is extremely important to conduct transparent and fair elections on October 2”, - added Risch.
