The Monitoring Committee of PACE started the visit to Georgia. The members of the delegation already met with MPs of Georgian Dream and United National Movement.

Discussions focused on the challenges in the judicial system and the agreement on the electoral model.

According to the Deputy Chairman of the National Movement faction Salome Samadashvili, until the authorities fulfill their promise in 9 cases of prosecution, they will not make a decision on supporting the constitutional changes.

“We discussed the ongoing processes in the country, the existing situations and their prerequisites. We dwelt on the judicial system and of course, the electoral system and the agreement reached thereto. The issue was not about which political party made more or less effort. Their attitude is to maintain and strengthen the stability of society. Obviously, there are issues that will lead to differences of position, such as the failure to comply with the Venice Commission’s recommendation when the High Council of Justice was selecting judges, but we have made clarifications in this regard. There are issues on which our and our opponents" positions differ substantially and we have had a meeting on these topics”, - said the Vice – Speaker of the Parliament Gia Volski.
