The Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Gharibashvili declares, that more than half a million Georgian citizens have paid more than million and a half visits to EU countries within 5 years since the introduction of visa-free regime. The Prime Minister spoke about the above at the governmental session and congratulated the population on the 5th anniversary of the visa-free regime.
"I would like to remind the population that we started this process in 2013, when we were given the Visa-Free Action Plan.
The Government worked hard and we completed this process in December 2015. The EU considered our efforts satisfactory and the visa regime was lifted in about a year and our citizens now travel to EU countries without a visa.
More than half a million citizens of Georgia have made more than million and a half visits to EU countries during these 5 years. This is a tangible result that we have achieved after the signing of the Association Agreement with the European Union," Irakli Gharibashvili said.
