The Mayor of Tbilisi claimed the decision of the European Union Foreign Affairs Council on suspending visa-free travel for holders of Georgian diplomatic passports was an “unfair attitude and a kind of punishment for the Georgian Government’s refusal to open a 2nd front.

“This fact is unbelievable. Why should they restrict people with diplomatic passports from travelling without or with a visa? They themselves are not yet formed on this issue. They have submitted a document on which they should start working, and how this work will end, no one knows. 

Why should they sanction us for not giving them the opportunity to open a second front in the country and not joining the [Russia] sanctions?

We defended the interests of our people and national interests. If we have to be punished for this, then yes. This is an unfair attitude and unfair process. 

We want the kind of Europe that every Georgian dreams of, where there is justice. I am sure and believe that this attitude will change soon.

The opposition forces had used all their resources following their defeat in the parliamentary elections, but the Maidan scenario in geortgia had failed”, - said Kakha Kaladze.
