I would be interested to hear how Mr. Janjalia sees external players reacting to progressive membership talks, and greater and deepening ties between Georgia and the European Union. Where does he assess the risks or volatility of reactions to that? Russia is the obvious example. I fervently hope come December that candidate status will be able to progress. As Mr. Janjalia will be aware from recent visits to Brussels, to which he alluded, there is a changed mindset within the European Union and the member states. There is a deepening realisation of the necessity of enlargement as a mutually beneficial process for both the European Union and the applicant states. That strengthening recognition of the mutual benefits will hopefully lead to a progressive path. There are obviously issues that need to be addressed. What does Mr. Janjalia feel the external threats to that path of progression might be?
