Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze’s participation in the 6th Summit of the European Political Community (EPC) in Tirana on Friday marked a thaw in the strained relations between Tbilisi and the European Union, after both parties hit pause on the South Caucasus country’s EU accession talks.
A short, but warm encounter between the Georgian premier and French President Emmanuel Macron during the summit signalled that Georgia and the EU are turning the page on their past differences.
