TBILISI (Sputnik) – Dolidze said that no more obstacles left to enact the visa-free regime between the EU and Georgia.
"Practically, this issue has been worked though, but I do not want to make statements in advance. Currently, it is important that our citizens can visit EU countries without a visa. I think that the issue of a visa-free regime will be resolved very soon, at the start of 2017," Dolidze told journalists on Wednesday.
In October, the EU Permanent Representatives Committee (COREPER) agreed on a visa waiver between Georgia and the European Union, which would allow Europeans to travel to Georgia without a visa and stay there for 90 days within a 180-day period, the same exemption in place for the citizens of Georgia.
On July 7, the European Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs also recommended to grant visa-free travel to the residents of Ukraine, Georgia and Kosovo.
