Media reported about Zurabishvili's removal of state protection in Georgia

Former Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili was deprived of state protection, Mtavari Arch TV channel reported on December 30.

According to its information, the relevant law was signed by the new president Mikhail Kavelashvili.

Protection of the head of state, Prime Minister and Speaker of the Parliament of Georgia was previously provided for a year after the termination of their powers.

According to the amendments, the protection will not be maintained if the Constitutional Court of the country confirms their violation of the basic law while in office. At the same time, last year the Constitutional Court of Georgia recognized that Zurabishvili violated the Constitution with uncoordinated foreign visits.
