Mikheil Saakashvili and Bidzina Ivanishvili at the negotiating table

MEPs demand the inclusion of Bidzina Ivanishvili and Mikheil Saakashvili in the EU-mediated talks.

Ivanishvili is a real ruler, he takes control of all institutions despite going behind the scenes, and Saakashvili is one of the most influential politicians in the country with many supporters - given this reality, Rasa Juknevičienė says that with the participation of these two figures the result will come sooner.

Political forces see this opportunity differently.

"Georgian Dream" does not like the initiatives of MEPs, especially it is irritated by the fact that our partners perceive the departure of the Head of the EU Mission at this crucial moment as a dubious signal.

Analysts say the country's institutions need to be strengthened and informal governance should be ended.

Christian Danielson is expected to arrive in Tbilisi on March 29, although it is possible that the European External Action Service will be involved in the talks.
