Pawel Herczynski, EU Ambassador to Georgia, expressed hope that the selection process for Public Defender’s post would be inclusive and transparent.

“I have no recommendations apart from stating that we sincerely hope that the process of the selection of the next public defender will be inclusive and transparent and that the person who will be selected will have all the qualities of professionalism and impartiality. And from what I understand, this is exactly what is happening now,” the Ambassador said.
