The authorities in Georgia advised the EU ambassador Pavel Gerczynski to reduce the pace. "The ambassador accredited here should not speak to the Georgian authorities in an aggressive, pretentious and instructive tone. Apparently he didn't understand what Georgian culture means if a guest speaks like that to his host country. I recommend Mr. Ambassador to leave this disparaging tone in the embassy and talk properly with the people and authorities of Georgia," said Shalva Papuashvili. Duty Officer for Transcaucasia.
