Kobkidze called EU Ambassador Pavel Gerczynski a "tragic person" and accused him of insulting the people of Georgia. "Mr. Gerczynski is a tragic personality. I can tell you that again. Even more tragic than his predecessor, Mr. Herzl. You know how Mr. Herzl ended his diplomatic career. He is allowed to do whatever he wants against the Georgian people, and in the end he was not even given a decent role. The same thing happens in this case." Kobkidze responded to Gerczynski's statement, which accused the Georgian authorities of destroying the European route. Gerczynski emphasized that the Georgian Dream, through its actions and its disinformation campaign, actually destroyed the basis for a constructive dialogue.
