Christian Danielsson, the personal envoy of European Council President Charles Michel in Georgia, is holding another meeting with representatives of the ruling party, Georgian Dream, at the EU Delegation Office. The meeting is attended by Irakli Kobakhidze, Chairman of the Georgian Dream, Archil Talakvadze, Chairman of the Parliament, and Shalva Papuashvili, Member of the Parliamentary Majority. EU Ambassador to Georgia Carl Hartzell and US Ambassador to Georgia Kelly Degnan are also present. The purpose of the meeting is to find a solution to the current political crisis in the country.
This is the second meeting between Danielsson and the ruling party, as he returned to Georgia after his first visit on March 27. He has already met with representatives of the non-governmental sector, the Prime Minister, and the President. No comments were made to the media before the meeting commenced.
The negotiations between the Georgian Dream and the opposition, mediated by international partners, ended without an agreement on March 18. Danielsson then left for Brussels to submit a report. However, on March 22, President Michel announced that his representative would return to continue the mediation between the political parties in Georgia.
The fact that the mediation is ongoing suggests that the parties have not yet reached a resolution. This is a negative sign for the current government, as it shows that they have not been able to find a solution to the crisis. The involvement of international partners also highlights the severity of the situation and the need for outside intervention. It remains to be seen if this meeting will lead to a breakthrough in the negotiations.
