The next important step, after which you can start employment, is opening a bank account. Opening an account may take up to 1 month. Please be patient as we do our best to expedite the process."
ℹ️ iTechArt is the second largest (after EPAM, which has already moved to Georgia and other countries) IT company in Belarus. As of 2021, 3,100 people worked there.

🇬🇪➡️🇪🇺Obtaining the status of Georgia as a candidate for the European Union.
What is known is the most important and important to this moment.
📍Some experts and media doubt that the status will be received. The authoritative publication Politico writes that the European Commission is less confident in Georgia, "which in recent years has been suffering from widespread political unrest and a noticeable democratic rollback." Journalists report similar discussions in the EU.
📍Georgia is determined that the status will be received, but they make harsh statements. Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said that “Georgia is ten heads ahead of Ukraine and Moldova in all areas, and in some moments even ahead of the EU countries. If status is determined by war, then we do not want war, we demand a well-deserved status! We do not ask for what we are unworthy - we demand the status that we deserve". Khundadze, an MP from the ruling Georgian Dream, continues. "If Georgia gets the status of a candidate with the same unfair obligations as the unfair accusations were reflected in the resolution of the European Parliament, then the country should give a fair refusal in return."
📊 A GORBI survey commissioned by the pro-government channel Imedi showed that 85.9% of the population believes that Georgia has earned the status of a candidate for EU membership.
❗️ Member countries are expected to deliver their final verdict next week.

🇺🇸🇬🇪 The US Embassy in Georgia has published a special statement on its Facebook page.
“The Russian disinformation machine believes that repeated repetition of absurd lies will change reality and rewrite history. The facts are: Russia invaded Georgia in 1991, Russia invaded Georgia in 2008, Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.
Russia blames everyone but itself for starting these and other military conflicts. According to them, the war in Ukraine was unleashed by Ukraine itself, NATO, the United States and, surprisingly, Jewish Nazis,” the US diplomatic mission said in a statement.

🇬🇪✊ June 20 in Georgia could be a day of big protests.
On the anniversary of the "Gavrilov Night", when a Russian deputy called mass protests in Tbilisi and violently dispersed them (240 people were injured), a gathering of supporters of European integration and opponents of rapprochement with the Russian Federation was announced on Rustaveli Avenue. The participants of the action will march from the parliament to Europe Square, where the rally will take place.
❗️Less than a week before the appointed date, the ruling party is already calling on the participants to strictly comply with the law, and the prime minister says that he will not allow destructive forces to undermine the situation in the country. The pro-Russian radical movement "Alt-Info" did not stand aside and said that they were ready for active action without relying on the police.
ℹ️ June 20, 2022 may become an important day in Georgia, because the decision to grant or refuse status in the EU can be announced as early as Friday, and depending on the decision, the number of participants in the action may increase significantly.

⚡️🇬🇪 President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili held an emergency briefing.
Many statements were quite sharp and serious.
What was said most importantly:
📍 criticized the actions of the government: “We do not attach importance to the reaction of the European Union, we do not show political will. The country was in first place when, on our initiative, an agreement on an associated trio was signed in Adjara, and now, a year later, after the actions of the ruling party, we have become the trailing ones.”
📍 apologized to the people of Ukraine: “We have shown a completely inadequate attitude towards our friendly country, Ukraine and its government. We must not engage in meaningless polemics.”
📍 answered about the accusations of the EU and the USA: “None of the international partners of Georgia demanded the opening of a second front, the statements of some people in the country, an obvious fabricated lie”
📍 about Georgia's prospects "There is a danger of isolation that we create ourselves and which is a much greater threat than the myth of a second front"
📍 called on the inhabitants of the country to join the nationwide action on June 16 at 19-00 on Europe Square in Tbilisi
