Georgian citizens to be checked at airports before leaving for EU

EU Ambassador to Georgia Carl Hartzell said that pre-flight checks will be introduced for Georgian nationals at airports before leaving for the EU.

According to him, the checks will be introduced "soon" to protect the EU-Georgia visa free deal.

"We are looking for ways to help Georgian border policy become more effective," the ambassador said.

"Year on year less Georgians will be able to receive asylum in EU member states," Agenda.ge cited Hartzell as saying.
