Tikhanovskaya in Dublin raised the issue of Belarusians' problems with residence permits with Kubhidze.
According to information that appeared, the leader of the Belarusian Democratic Forces, Svetlana Tikanovskaya, spoke with the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobhidze, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maka Bokhorishvili, at the summit of the European political community in Dublin.
The main topic was the difficulties faced by Belarusians in Georgia: paperwork, legalization of residence and obtaining a residence permit.
Svetlana particularly emphasized the need to protect people who left Belarus due to political persecution.
Why is this important?
For many Belarusians, Georgia has become a haven, but problems with documents and refusal to grant a residence permit could put them at risk of being forced to return to the country where they face persecution.
It is not yet known whether the discussion of these issues will lead to any changes in Georgia's immigration policy. Let's hope. But I doubt it.
Tikhonovskaya reported this on her official TG page. Ours have not yet published anything on the subject.
