The Georgian government administration has started recommencing lobbying contracts in the United States for 2021. According to the official web-page of FARA, the Government of Georgia signed a contract with Chartwell Strategy Group.
The agreement was signed by the parties on January 21 and under which, the Government of Georgia will pay $ 65,000 per month or $ 780,000 per year.
In return, the Georgian government expects a lobbying firm to assist the Georgian government in developing strategic communications in the United States. The government administration had a contract with this company in 2020 under similar conditions.
In addition, last year the government administration had a contract with the company StrateVarious worth $ 120,000. The contract with this company is not renewed yet.
However, ruling party Georgian Dream has not yet renewed its lobbying agreements worth $ 1,200,000. The most expensive contract worth of 900,000 USD was signed with Hogan Lovells, while the second contract of $ 300,000 was signed with DCI Group.
