MEP Marina Kaljurand to discuss Georgian local elections with President

The October 2 municipal elections were discussed during the meeting with President, said MEP Marina Kaljurand in an interview with Moambe News Program of the Georgian Public Broadcaster (GPB).

MEP from Estonia is a member of the European Parliament’s election observation mission in Georgia. She held meetings with Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili and EU Ambassador to Georgia Carl Hartzell earlier on Thursday.

“We discussed preparations so far, what to expect from the elections and how to overcome the polarized political situation Georgia is in at the moment, how to return to normal life so that the country starts facing the questions that really do matter – the pandemic, economic growth, EU integration,” Marina Kaljurand claimed.

Georgia will hold the municipal elections on October 2.
