Georgian Dream representatives will join the Geneva talks and work on various issues in the European Union, one of the leaders of the coalition David Usupashvili said.

"Our representatives will join the work of the delegations holding the Geneva talks and working with the EU on various issues," he said. "So, before the new government staff is approved, the Georgian Dream representatives will be sent to the main state bodies, including law enforcement bodies."

The next meeting will be held in Geneva on October 11. Russia calls for conclusion of a non-use of force agreement between Tbilisi, Sukhumi and Tskhinvali and abolition of Georgia's law on occupied territories.

Parliamentary elections were held in Georgia on Oct.1. Around 14 parties and two political blocs participated.

Georgia has held mixed-list, majority system Parliamentary elections. Around 150 MPs must be elected - 77 from the lists (a passing barrier of five per cent) and 73 single-seat constituencies.

Parliament will receive more authority in 2013, after constitutional amendments reducing the president's power take effect.
