This achievement belongs to all Georgians; once again, I congratulate you on yesterday's victory, Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili commented on the signing of the visa waiver regulation for Georgian citizens. Giorgi Kvirikashvili also expressed his gratitude to everyone involved in the implementation of visa liberalization, referring to it as Georgia's great success.
"Europe opens its door to Georgia and its citizens. It is a demonstration of immense trust, and I am thankful to all of you. It is a result of enormous effort, including the implementation of a significant portion of the technical plan under my predecessor, Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili. This process was launched in 2012, under the then Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili, when we adopted the Visa Liberalization Action Plan. It is our great success! It is also a result of the heroic efforts of many people over the past 25 years, since the restoration of Georgia's independence. Among them, we should of course commemorate those who sacrificed their lives for our country's independence. Indeed, we must never forget that consistency and tireless efforts always bring positive results," Giorgi Kvirikashvili stated before today's Government meeting.
