According to the Mayor of Tbilisi, Kakha Kaladze, he welcomes if the visa regime for Georgian citizens in Russia is canceled and direct air traffic with Russia is restored. Kaladze told journalists about it.
"You know that everything was done unilaterally, our country and our people were sanctioned, visas were introduced, direct flights were prohibited. If they make that decision, it's up to them to make it. If this decision is made, of course, we will welcome direct flights and visa-free travel for the citizens of our country," Kaladze said.
The deputy of the Russian Duma, chairman of the CIS, Eurasian integration and relations with compatriots committee, Leonid Kalashnikov, said yesterday that Russia and Georgia are on the verge of restoring direct air traffic, as well as canceling visas.
