According to her, actions by the Government only are not sufficient in terms of EU approximation, each Georgian shall be ready to accept European values which implies obedience to the law, protection of others’ rights and more tolerance first of all.

She spoke as well about Georgia-Russia relations and emphasized restoration of territorial integrity. “At this stage I am content with actions by the Government in this term, though I hope that with sequential policy we will have our territories back”. She attached her attention to investigation of Y. Vazagashvili’s death. She noted that the legislative control is held over this issue and the investigation is at the final stage.
