The temporary parliamentary commission established to study food, medicine, and fuel pricing held its first session.
The session was organizational, during which Shota Berekashvili was elected as the chairman of the commission, and Eka Sepashvili, a member of the political group “People’s Power”, was chosen as deputy chair.
