NATO Secretary General’s Assessment

The NATO Secretary General hopes that the Georgian judicial system will be freed from political influence. Mr. Rasmussen writes this on his own account on the social networking website Twitter. “NATO will help Georgia carry out critical reforms, and will continue to support its sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Alliance will assess the level of Georgia’s progress towards Euro-Atlantic integration, as well as the work that is still to be done, such as strengthening democracy and the rule of law,” writes the Secretary General. Mr. Rasmussen’s visit to Georgia began yesterday, and continues today, when he will be meeting the President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili.
