Despite challenges like the ongoing pandemic and regional tensions, Georgia remains committed to its path towards EU integration. Kobakhidze stressed the importance of democratic values and human rights in Georgia’s journey towards European integration.
As the country prepares to cast their votes on Sunday, all eyes will be on Georgia to see how the election results will shape the future of this strategically important nation. With PM Kobakhidze’s assurances of Georgia’s commitment to European values and aspirations, the outcome of the elections will have far-reaching implications for the country’s future trajectory.
