As Georgian Justice Ministry reported on Tuesday, within an official dinner Kbilashvili met with the Permanent Representatives of Austria, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria to the Council of Europe.

The discussion focused on the events recently occurring in Georgia, including the arrests of opponents of the current government. EU ambassadors asked about the reforms implemented in the legal sector.

Kbilashvili also met with the Deputy Director General of the Council of Europe's Directorate of Human Rights Christos Jakomopolu.

During the visit, the delegation will meet with the Council of Europe Commissioner of Human Rights Nils Muzhnieks, EU representative in the Council Luizeloy Pavan-Wolf, Secretary General of the Council of Europe Thorbjorn Jagland, chairman of the Strasbourg Court of Human Rights Dean Spielman.
