A group of Polish doctors is ready to fly to Tbilisi to provide assistance to ex-president of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili and is waiting for the formal consent of the Georgian authorities.

 This was announced on Monday at a press conference in Warsaw by the representative of the Polish government, Petro Mueller.

 "Now we are waiting for the formal agreement of the Georgian side on this matter. But in fact, there is such a declaration from our side and formal steps have been taken," said Muller.

 According to him, if the Georgian authorities have nothing to blame, then there is no reason not to give such consent.

 Muller noted that the process of medical care in Tbilisi of the ex-president of Georgia raises serious doubts in the international community. Therefore, the Polish side is ready to clarify these doubts by directly sending a medical mission to Georgia.

 Recently, the state of health of Saakashvili, a prisoner in Georgia, has deteriorated significantly. At the EU summit on February 10, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that Poland is ready to adopt a treatment policy.

 In the resolution approved on February 15, MEPs called for pardoning Saakashvili and sending him for treatment abroad.

 At the end of February, the EU lodged a formal protest with the Georgian authorities regarding Saakashvili after Hungary blocked the decision. The announcement of the protest was initiated by Poland.
