The political scientist said that Georgia is not ready to integrate into the European Union "at any cost" and it is important for Tbilisi to take into account its interests and not allow other countries to interfere in its internal affairs. In addition, the country does not intend to sever relations with the Russian Federation. Dmitry Sidorov, political science candidate, head of the department of foreign regional studies at the Moscow State Linguistic University, spoke about this on the "Moscow Speaks" radio station. We are talking about preserving sovereignty and integration, not at any cost. Respecting its interests and non-interference in internal affairs are important to Georgia. During the parliamentary elections, the European Union openly supported the opposition to the current government and supported protests that did not subside for a long time in the major cities. Of course, this model of EU policy annoys the current Georgian authorities. Georgia is afraid of being drawn into a conflict on the background of the Ukrainian conflict, so it strives to maintain a constructive dialogue with the Russian Federation: direct flights have been resumed, the flow of tourists is expanding - all this brings certain dividends to Georgia, including to the population and businesses. Of course, Georgia does not want to sacrifice this for the sake of union with Brussels.
