U.S. to Cut Aid to Georgia

Thomas C. Adams, Acting Coordinator of U.S. Assistance to Europe and Eurasia in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs of the U.S. Department of State, met with Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze late on September 24.

Thomas Adams said at a news briefing after the meeting with Shevardnadze that the issue of the U.S. assistance to Georgia was discussed.

He said that the U.S. will reduce financial aid for Georgia from 2004, because of Georgia?s failure to implement economic projects considered in frames of the financial assistance.

U.S. Department of State official also said that the financial aid will be cut mainly for the country?s energy sector.
