Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed readiness for dialogue with the Georgian authorities.
“If there are any additional proposals for contacts from our Georgian neighbors, of course we will consider them.
We have never shied away from contacts,” Lavrov said at a press conference on Monday.
A journalist from the TASS state agency asked Lavrov a question about Russia’s readiness to conduct a dialogue with the Georgian authorities if they consider it possible to come to Moscow.
There have been no diplomatic relations between Georgia and Russia for 16 years. Tbilisi severed them after the August war in response to Moscow's recognition of the independence of the breakaway Abkhazia and Tskhinvali region.
Today, the dialogue between Georgia and Russia is maintained within the framework of the international Geneva discussions and regular meetings of diplomats of the two countries in Prague.
The opposition believes that the Georgian Dream government maintains communication with Moscow through informal channels.
