Mikheil Kavelashvili Visits Serbia
On December 17, the Georgian Dream-elected President Mikheil Kavelashvili visited Serbia, marking his first official visit to a European country since assuming office.
Kavelashvili is accompanied by the GD Foreign Minister Maka Botchorishvili, ruling party lawmakers Irakli Mezurnishvili, Irma Zavradashvili, and Guram Macharashvili, as well as Georgia’s ambassador to Serbia, Levan Beridze, and representatives of the presidential administration.
As part of his visit, Kavelashvili met with his Serbian counterpart, Aleksandar Vučić. According to a press release from the Kavelashvili administration, he is also scheduled to hold bilateral meetings with Prime Minister Đuro Macut and National Assembly Speaker Ana Brnabić.
Kavelashvili’s presidency has been questioned by key Western countries and Georgia’s international partners, who have raised serious concerns over alleged widespread fraud and irregularities in the October 26, 2024, parliamentary elections, which led to Kavelashvili’s controversial election by the GD-only electoral college on December 14, 2024. Kavelashvili’s official foreign travel has been limited to neighboring countries, where he held high-level meetings with government officials.
Meeting with the President of Serbia
On December 18, Mikheil Kavelashvili met his Serbian counterpart, Aleksandar Vučić.
“Colleagues discussed the deepening of cooperation between Georgia and Serbia in the political, economic, technological, and cultural fields,” the administration said, adding that the two also focused on “existing friendly ties, cultural closeness, shared values and common challenges, which provide a solid foundation for the further development of relations.”
According to the statement, the two leaders also touched upon the “political processes” in both countries and emphasized “the importance of peace and stability in the world.” Serbia, like Georgia, has been gripped by protests during the past year.
During the meeting, Kavelashvili said Georgia “highly values Serbia’s support for Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the administration said.
