Visegrad Lessons for Georgia – Overcoming Political Divides through Practical Cooperation (4th Webinar)

On 26 March 2026, the EU Awareness Centre participated in the 4th webinar organised by the Caucasian Journal, titled “Visegrad Lessons for Georgia – Overcoming Political Divides through Practical Cooperation.” The concluding session, “Lessons for Georgia: Roundtable and Action Points,” brought together experts from across Europe and Georgia.

Chairman of the EU Awareness Centre, David Dondua, focused in his intervention on the key lesson from the Visegrad experience: cooperation can be sustained despite political differences. He emphasised that political disagreement should not prevent practical cooperation in areas of common interest.

He also highlighted the importance of protecting key sectors such as energy, infrastructure, education, and trade from political polarisation, and stressed the need for building institutional stability and practical cooperation mechanisms in Georgia.

The discussion underlined that Georgia’s progress depends not on full political consensus, but on the ability to maintain cooperation even in a polarised environment.
