"Mr President, elections are a challenging time in any democratic country, therefore I share the view of some of my colleagues of not understanding why we have this debate on the agenda at all.
However, truly free and fair elections are not only about respecting provisions and the spirit of the electoral process and results, but also about honest competition and avoiding hate speech. We strongly hope that all political forces in Georgia will refrain from taking politics to the streets, which might lead to violent clashes.
Moreover, the Russian army will be conducting military exercises in the region and, at the time of the elections, a part of the country is still occupied by Russian troops.
Georgia is a young democracy that needs support in her aspirations to integrate further with the European and transatlantic institutions. We need to help the government to continue to carry out reforms. By reassuring Georgia about her prospects, we contribute to the consolidation of democracy and to a stable and reliable partnership with the European Union."@en1
