"Our investments must be accompanied by clear progress in judicial reform, public administration reform and human rights," Lawrence Meredith, Director for the Eastern Neighborhood and Institution Building at the European Commission, said at a briefing held at the EU Office in Georgia.

According to him, the above are the core values ​​of the European Union and the implementation of these reforms is essential for democracy and economy in Georgia. As he noted, EU assistance is based on two pillars - investment and governance assistance.

"We believe that these reforms are necessary not only to advance Georgia's democratic agenda, but also to ensure sustainable economic development, to create a level playing field and to attract investors," Lawrence said.

As he noted, 5 different projects will be launched for Georgia within the framework of the visit. The projects are related to the Black Sea and strengthening of ties, as well as assistance in the field of digital connections. As part of the digital project, they will help 1,000 rural communities to gain access to digital connections. Another project is for small and medium-sized enterprises and innovation development, which will help 80,000 small and medium-sized enterprises to use their potential for deep and comprehensive free trade with the EU. Another project aims to improve air quality.

"We see that there is no equal development between big cities and regions, sometimes it is 5 times, 10 times different. So together with Ambassador Hartzell we will go to Adjara through Imereti and visit the beneficiaries of the EU project to discuss our various projects. Georgia and the EU are stronger together and our assistance will be beneficial to all citizens of Georgia," Lawrence said.
