Today, Georgian Prime Minister, Irakli Garibashvili, officially inaugurated a special photo exhibition marking EUMMs 15-year presence on the ground. During the event, EUMM Head of Mission, Dimitrios Karabalis, expressed his gratitude to the country of Georgia for hosting the Mission for 15 years.
Crucial support
The exhibition, which features 15 carefully selected photographs, encapsulates the diverse aspects of EUMMs work, highlighting its unwavering commitment to peace and stability in Georgia and the wider region. The images serve as a testament to the Missions dedication to its mandate in Georgia over the past decade and a half.
During the inauguration, EUMM Head of Mission Dimitrios Karabalis expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the country of Georgia for hosting the Mission for 15 years. "We are deeply grateful to the people and governments of Georgia for accommodating our Mission these 15 years. This crucial support has enabled EUMM to steadfastly focus on the execution of our mandate, which is to contribute to stability in Georgia and the wider region,” Head of Mission Karabalis said.
Prime Minister Garibashvili explicitly thanked the Mission for its work: “On 15 September 2008, the European Union took a pivotal step by establishing EUMM. Since that day, the Mission has played an integral role in contributing to stability in our country”. The Prime Minister concluded by expressing his readiness to render the country’s full support to EUMM.
Traveling exhibitions
The exhibition will simultaneously be organised by EUMM’s Headquarters and three Field Offices in Mtskheta, Gori and Zugdidi. These identical exhibitions will not remain static in their original locations. Instead, each of these offices will showcase the exhibitions at different locations such as public schools, libraries, art galleries and city halls. This approach transforms all four exhibitions into traveling exhibitions, enabling a wider audience to engage with and appreciate the impactful work of EUMM over its 15-year presence in the region.
