Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze pointed out that certain EU countries provided funding to nongovernmental organizations that shielded those who hurled firebombs at police in Georgia

TBILISI, November 3. /TASS/. Representatives of certain European countries organized and supported unrest in Georgia and are now facing similar disturbances at home, Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze, secretary general of the ruling Georgian Dream - Democratic Georgia party, told reporters.
