I want to stress the fact that EU strongly supports the work of the Ombudsman, including with regard her role of overseeing the situation with regard to Mikheil Saakashvili. Such a statement made today the EU Ambassador to Georgia.

“I think what we have seen in the past 24 hours is another reminder of the importance of focusing on the health situation, which is a concern also for the European Union.

When it comes to the current situation, I believe it’s time to think about moving from deadlock and debate towards taking the appropriate actions to address the situation in such a way that we are leading things forward on the basis of national and international rights and obligations”, - said Carl Hartzell.
