01 February 2008 14:43 (UTC +04:00)

â€œWe should all understand that Georgia is in a very, very difficult period in terms of the foreign situation. The fact that the process of recognizing Kosovo will be launched next week means that our country will face a very serious storm. But our country, if we work well, will avoid any storms. It is possible if everybody understands that we are not the employees of one of the elite ministries, but we are soldiers, who should save the countryâ€, Saakashvili said.
Davit Bakradze said that solution to the conflicts will be the main priorities in the activity of Foreign Ministry in 2008.
â€œWe expect that independence of Kosovo will be soon recognized. It will cause major challenges for Georgian diplomacy. Our energy and resources should be directed to the solution of the conflicts,â€ he said. /APA/
