“Germany’s Role in Georgia’s European Future: How to align expectations?” – GIP & IEP joint public event in Berlin
The keynote speeches by panel participants were followed by lively discussion with the audience. The participants further stressed the lack of communication the two societies. German participants claimed that Germany’s position is often misunderstood in Georgian society and communication channels between the two countries should be improved. Georgian participants agreed, noting that whereas Germany does more on the ground than many other Western countries, the lack of strategic communication and weak political messaging by Berlin deprives German engagement of most of its public visibility.
