🇬🇪🇪🇺 Georgia, in terms of fulfilling the technical criteria for rapprochement with the European Union, is ahead of Moldova and Ukraine.
This was announced by the editor of the European bureau of Radio Liberty Rikard Jozwiak, who got acquainted with the draft of the new report of the European Commission. It is scheduled to be published in January. The report will evaluate the conformity of the legislation of Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia with EU legislation in 32 areas, which the EU calls “chapters”. Compliance of the applicant country with these "chapters" is necessary to start negotiations on EU membership. Speaking about the evaluation report, Jozwiak noted that "it is clear that Georgia will receive the best evaluation, which is the result of many years of work by pro-European and somewhat reform-oriented governments". According to him, Georgia is assessed as "medium prepared", including in the areas of economy and finance. However, the country lags behind in the areas of law, intellectual property and agriculture.

🏦 The digital lari will be presented in the first half of 2023.
This statement was made by the National Bank of Georgia. According to NBG Vice President Papuna Lezhava, based on the final document, which is currently being developed, all potential partners will have the opportunity to formulate their final proposals for the Georgian version of CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) - the digital currency of the central bank, which will have the status of legal tender.
“We have chosen several concrete examples in what form the “digital lari” will be tested. At the first stage, it will be a rather limited pilot version. On its basis, the technical characteristics of the "digital lari" will be evaluated. After that, the question of whether to continue this project or not will be decided. In the first half of 2023, we will publish the document and soon after that, together with the chosen partner, we will discuss how much time it will take to implement the project.”

🇬🇪❤️✏️ Georgian artist draws realistic winter landscapes with a simple pencil.
Now, when it has been snowing in Tbilisi for the third day, and the ski resorts have either opened or are waiting for the start of skiing from day to day, this wonderful story and unusual art come to mind. Looking at these monochrome works, you catch yourself thinking that the modern Georgian artist Guram Dolendzhashvili can create a snowy winter no worse than mother nature, which paints with it's invisible hand. But the author uses just a simple pencil. Hundreds of thousands of short strokes, stunning chiaroscuro and black and white landscape in the style of realism, filled with ringing silence and sparkling snow. The artist himself was born in Imereti (Western Georgia) where snow is rare. Therefore, he devoted most of his work to his native land, refusing to sell paintings even for big money.
