The Georgian government has granted Jvari LLC special enterprise status to conduct activities in the country’s occupied territories. According to an order signed by Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, the company has received special authorization for a three-month period under Georgia’s Law on Occupied Territories.
Business registry records show that Jvari LLC was registered in November 2019 and is based in the town of Jvari, Tsalenjikha municipality. David Akobia owns 100% of the company and serves as its director.
The government order cites legislation regulating special authorization for businesses operating in Georgia’s occupied territories. The specific purpose of Jvari’s authorization has not been disclosed.
In August, the government extended a similar three-month authorization for another company, Solidus. The company reportedly supplied fuel to occupied Abkhazia amid a severe fuel shortage, a move confirmed by Kobakhidze, who said the fuel had been delivered by private business rather than the government.
