According to Kaladze, there is no problem that Russian citizens came to Georgia for tourist purposes. "To spend a few hours, to spend money. The Georgian government has done and will do everything to ensure that, first of all, the interests of our country are protected," the Tbilisi Life telegram channel reports Kaladze's words.
