We daily hear criticism and concern from our international partners. The most noteworthy is Nino’s statement, when the country’s first judge says that she is a victim of violence. I do not want this resignation to be concealed like as many important political events in our life. The improvement of the judiciary, the qualitative change of the existing situation there is the most important challenge facing our democracy”, – President said.

The President has called on the academic representatives, lawyers, and people who contributed for judiciary system in Georgia to be involved in the process.
