President of Georgia Giorgi Margvelashvili and opposition offers three proposals to the parliamentary majority regarding Georgia’s constitutional changes.

‘The opposition and president have decided to make a step of consent and made four proposals: prohibition of bonuses, admission of election blocs – or the two issues demanded by Georgian Dream; third – establishment of proportional elections in 2020 and fourth: to elect the president by the parliament when it is two-chamber. The Venice Commission recommendations also included this. These are the four basis steps to the agreement… If the parliamentary majority needs also a religious freedom article, opposition is ready to discuss it,’ Ana Dolidze has remarked.
