Fruitful meeting of Czech Ambassador Petr Mikyska and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia Alexander Khvtisiashvili regarding the recent publications in Georgian media outlets on bilateral trade, Czech Embassy posted on Facebook.

“Ambassador detailed that his comments, disseminated out of context, were not linked to the sanctions against Russia but general trade, knowing and valuing the principled position of Georgian authorities on the sanctions issue.

Both sides discussed further exchange of information on this and other sensitive issues. We assume that the doubts of Georgian authorities have been dispelled and the subject does not deserve further discussion,” Embassy stated.

Czech Ambassador was summoned to Georgia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs for explanations. The reason for this, according to the agency, was his comments to the media, in which the ambassador stated that some products coming to Georgia from the Czech Republic went to Russia despite sanctions.
