Tbilisi. Nizami Mammadzadeh â€“ APA. â€œI have not had an opportunity to hold discussions with Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich on GUAM prospects. First of all the new government should be established. After the new government is formed in Ukraine we will hold discussions with the new foreign minister about the prospects of GUAM. Only after that we can know the priorities and opinion of Ukrainian President,â€ GUAM Secretary General Valeri Chechelashvili told APAâ€™s Georgia bureau. Secretary General said GUAMâ€™s relations with Ukraine will remain normal.
â€œNo serious political force in Ukraine doubts the countryâ€™s course of European integration. If it hadnâ€™t been so, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich would not have paid his first visit to Brussels,â€ he said.

Valeri Chechelashvili underlined that he seriously assessed GUAMâ€™s prospects.
â€œWe have gained great achievements and will improve the relations more. We will implement new projects. It first of all includes development of free trade zone, activation of struggle against organized crimes, development of joint tourism potential. These projects have already produced their positive results. The program adopted in the Baku summit paves the way for the development of the relations. We will activate our work more in the world,â€ he said.
