It is very strange when some people appeal to patriotism and speak against Europe - Zurabishvili

"It is very strange today when some people, appealing to patriotism or slogans of traditions preservation, oppose Europe and the European way, the Europe which was an irreplaceable goal for all independent states, fighters, for our ancestors. This fight does not end, the challenges become more complicated and the requirements increase. More professionalism is needed, because the protection of interests of the country is today in many directions - diplomacy, politics, culture, economy, but also technology, science, environmental protection, energy, cyber security and many others.
