The special envoy of the Georgian Premier for settlement of relations with Russia, Zurab Abashidze, noted that consultations of experts on trade and economic issues between Russia and Georgia would be held after the signing of the association agreement between the EU and Tbilisi.

According to Abashidze, in the first half of July he will meet Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin in Prague; and before the meeting a consultation on trade and economic relations between the two countries will take place.
The issue of signing the association agreement between Georgia and the EU will be discussed, Abashidze says.
