“It is vital that the work on judiciary reform, media freedom and accountability of the security sector continues,” highlighted NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in a joint press conference with Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili on December 15, after their meeting in Brussels. 

The NATO chief said the Alliance expects “Georgia to uphold the democratic standards that it has worked hard to develop in the recent years.” He also called on the Georgian Prime Minister to work with the opposition to “resolve political differences and reduce polarizing rhetoric and actions.” 

The Secretary General noted that during the meeting, besides the domestic situation in Georgia, they addressed regional security as well as Russia’s “destabilizing activities” in the Black Sea region.
