German FM is not Skeptical about Georgia’s Visa Liberalisation
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier announced that there is no reason to expect that the European Commission experts’ report on Georgia would not be positive. It is considered that upcoming report will determine whether or not Georgians will enjoy visa free travel to countries in the Schengen zone, Agenda.ge reports.
According to the German Minister visa liberalization seemed to be a very important issue for the Georgian side at the upcoming Riga Summit.
"I should admit that the work Georgia got done during preparation for the visa liberalization process was really impressive, so I don’t think there is any reason to be skeptical towards the report that will be finished soon,” - Steinmeier said.
Earlier the European Union (EU) officials mentioned that visa liberalization decision would be based on Georgia’s recent achievements and these achievements needed to be reflected in the report. The report is currently being prepared by European Commission experts, who had travelled to Tbilisi to review the situation.
