“No oligarch has played such role as Ivanishvili plays,“ Former 🇺🇸Ambassador to🇬🇪 William Courtney told VOA. Courtney also notes, it's time to establish interest-based politics in 🇬🇪 since politics based on individuals, which🇬🇪has been facing for 30 years, is less healthy process
According to Former 🇺🇸 Ambassador to 🇷🇺 @McFaul, International Working Group on Russian Sanctions coordinated by McFaul himself, is starting to consider sanctioning people from 🇬🇪 & 🇧🇾, which for the group would be first case of sanctioning individuals from country other than 🇷🇺
Ensuring impartial, efficient, and timely investigations of cases involving media professionals is one of the recommendations of the EU to Georgia on the path to acquiring candidate status
