Revaz Vashakidze, deeply hopes that after the elections, Georgia will get closer to the EU again. As he told BMGTV, no one expects it to happen in a day, as the country's reputation has been badly damaged.
"During the last two years, the government and parliament took decisions to distance Georgia from Europe and America. We had military relations with the USA for the last 30 years, our financial supporters are the international banks in which the US has major share, and they determine this policy. This is a big problem.
As for the European Union, Georgian citizens have great relations with European countries, I mean both individuals and companies. If it happens that the visa regime is stopped, it will lead to big changes in Georgia. It is not only a problem that part of our population will find it more difficult to travel to Europe, there are now about half a million Georgians in Europe.
