The Head of the EU representation in Georgia, Carl Hartzell, says that dialogue is needed in order to calm down tensions.

The Ambassador responded to the incident between Dare movement and the supporters of the Georgian Dream in Mtskheta.

“We have invested a lot from the EU side together with others to facilitate the dialogue that took place last weekend. As you know, I was enthusiastic about the exchange of views that took place there. We are now in the process of a dialogue with different participants to see what conclusions we can draw together from this. Dialogue is essential in order to calm down tensions, and of course, every time there is the use of violence, it is always a bad sign, which should be taken seriously and should be followed up appropriately”, - said Carl Hartzell.
