Polish presidential spokesman Jaromir Sokolowski said that President Komorowski assured the Georgian head of state of Poland's continued support for the process and "pointed out that a threat to this process would be a negative development in the internal situation in Georgia”.
Sokolowski added that President Komorowski hoped that “the opposition [in Georgia] will cooperate with implementing reforms necessary to finalize negotiations on the Association Agreement."
President Saakashvili's United National Movement was unexpectedly defeated in parliamentary elections last year, which were won by the Georgian Dream party, led by billionaire businessman and politician Bidzina Ivanishvili.
This is the first time since the so-called 'Rose Revolution' in Georgia ten years ago that the Presidential Palace and Parliament are dominated by opposing political forces.
President Komorowski said yesterday that he hopes that Georgia's Association Agreement with the EU will be finalized before the Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius in November 2013. (pg)
