Summary
Key Points: 
  • The current political crisis and polarisation clearly risk undermining Georgia's hard-won young democracy in this complex region.
  • I have had good and frank discussions with you, Mr. Prime Minister, with the different colleagues and with the leaders of the opposition parties.
  • And the opposition should also step up to the challenges and engage constructively in the interests of Georgia.
  • Today, I also had the opportunity to visit the Administrative Boundary Line with the Georgian breakaway region of South Ossetia.
