I am glad that the dialogue took place – Acting US Ambassador to Georgia Elisabeth Rood said after the meeting held between representatives of the ruling party and opposition at Biltmore Hotel in Tbilisi with participation of Diplomatic Corps.
Acting US Ambassador said that many versions of election models were considered during the meeting and that the sides agreed to continue discussions.
