Changes from our side cannot be planned due to the fact that tomorrow this law will be adopted in the 3rd reading - Kobakhidze

Changes from our side, naturally, cannot be planned due to the fact that tomorrow this law will be adopted in the third reading. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia.

“We have repeatedly said that we are ready and open to discussions within the framework of the veto. It is true that [President] Salome Zourabichvili made a non-constructive statement yesterday, but I would like to once again call on her to act as she has done before. You all know that the President herself never wrote her own veto bills, either NGOs or outsiders wrote them for her.

Therefore, it is possible that this lever and tool can be used even now, and if Salome Zourabichvili does not give the opportunity to the government or international partners, it will naturally be her responsibility. There are 2 weeks from May 14 to May 28, during which positions can be agreed and then reflected in the veto bill.

However, if the President has a destructive position, which she already observed yesterday, in this case this process will be complicated. We once again confirm our readiness and openness for discussion”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
