Ilia Darchiashvili will meet with high-ranking representatives of the EU institutions, including the European Commissioner for Neighborhood and Enlargement, Olivér Várhelyi, and the Director General of the Directorate General for Neighborhood and Enlargement Negotiations of the European Commission, Gert Jan Koopmann.

The process of Georgia’s integration into the European Union, as well as the agenda of bilateral relations, will be discussed within the framework of the meetings.
