Russia may seek to revise some trade parameters with Georgia after signing of association agreement with the EU, according to Georgian Prime Minister's Special Representative for Relations with Russia, Zurab Abashidze.

Such movement of the events is likely, he said.

The special representative also stressed that no knee-jerk reaction is expected by Russia against Georgia.

"Russia will not take any tough action against Georgia. When we talked a few months ago that Russia calmly react to the Georgia's signing of association agreement with the EU generally, few people believed us.
