TBILISI, 16 April 2022, (TON): The Georgian government on Friday published a questionnaire sent by the European Union, which will start a discussion on the start of negotiations on the republic’s accession to the EU.

The document contains issues related to the constitutional system of the republic, the principle of separation of branches of power and the rule of law.

In a document published in English on the website of the Georgian government, the EU asks how balanced the executive, legislative and judicial powers are.

The European Union is also interested in the work of the Constitutional Court, the principles for appointing judges and the level of its independence.

Separate sections are devoted to the principles of the work of the parliament, government and the judiciary as a whole. The republic’s authorities will also have to answer questions related to civil society and the openness of state institutions.

The European Union also expects from Georgia a description of the anti-corruption policy pursued in the country.
