Itsik Moshe was officially invited in January and discussion of a cooperation plan in 2023 is under consideration.
At the meeting, Itsik Moshe told the guests, that the history of Holocaust is taught in four universities of the capital of Georgia and more than 200 non-Jewish Georgian students study this subject. This is an expression of the good attitude of Georgia towards Israel and world Jewry. Israeli rooms have also been opened in universities, so young citizens of the friend country can discover the real Israel, which is necessary for successful bilateral relations. In two cities of Georgia, Oni and Tbilisi, Georgian Schindlers’ memorials were placed and the Righteous Among the Nations Park was opened. Both of these locations have already become an inseparable part of AEPJ’s European Route of Jewish Heritage certified by the Council of Europe.
The Head of Israeli House, who is the Vice President of the European Alliance for Israel (EAI), made an agreement with the Montenegrin minister that a governmental group from Montenegro will become a member of the EAI and will join next year’s European delegation to meet the government of Israel. From Georgia, the Head of the Georgia-Israel Friendship Group, Givi Mikanadze will participate.
During the conversation between the Montenegrin minister and renowned soprano Tamar Iveri, it was decided that Montenegro will participate in the next international festival. The Minister invited the winner of this year’s Batumi Festival, Elmina Hasan, to next year’s Israeli Week.
Bilateral business visits for joint energy projects are also planned. The Chairman of the National Energy and Water Supply Regulatory Commission of Georgia, Davit Narmania, will visit Montenegro for this purpose.
Within the short visit, the minister of the Public Administration of Montenegro met with the Mayor of the Capital city, Kakha Kaladze. A memorandum on the twinning of Tbilisi and Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, will also be signed, an example that connections cover both culture and business.
