The founder of the premium health resort in July in Kojuri, the doctor and entrepreneur Tamaz Mchedlidze, accused officials of inaction against the actions of hunters who regularly shoot near the hotel. According to him, due to the hunters' cannon, foreign tourists are frightened, cancel their reservations and leave their vacations early, while the relevant departments turn a blind eye to the violations. The day after the high-profile post, the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Department of Environmental Control issued an official statement. The department assured that immediately after the publication, the area near the bioli was taken under "strict supervision". Rapid response and environmental patrol teams have been dispatched to the Kojuri and Matzaminda areas. The department also added that during the last two months since the start of the hunting season for migratory birds, 10 cases of illegal hunting have been detected in the administrative borders of Tbilisi alone.
