'We started the inclusive process, but some parties do not participate in it' PM Garibashvili says
According to Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, the government is ready to cooperate with the opposition and conduct an inclusive process to implement the recommendations of the European Union. According to him, the government opened the door to everyone, but the opposition party refuses to participate in this process.
The Prime Minister spoke about this at the press conference together with Joseph Borrell and Oliver Varhelyi after the meeting of the Association Council.
"As soon as the decision of the European Council was announced, we presented a specific action plan on July 1, with specific deadlines for each priority, and started an inclusive process involving various political groups: opposition parties, the government, and civil society.
However, I would like to note with a heavy heart that some political parties do not participate in this process.
We will continue to work faithfully to fully implement the Association Agreement, including Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade. We have recently adopted a new association agenda for 2021-2027, which reflects our ambitious goals," said Garibashvili after the meeting of the Association Council.
