The "Georgian Dream" party has started preparations to restore diplomatic relations with Russia after 16 years. This was reported by Mtavari TV channel on June 11.
Georgia severed diplomatic relations with the Russian Federation on September 3, 2008, after Moscow recognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia. TV channel sources confirmed that the governments of both countries are actively working on the issue, and the selection of Georgian embassy staff in Moscow has already begun. "Georgian Dream" has not officially confirmed the news about the opening of the embassy in Russia.
