18.09.2012 (Hvino News) Foreign ministers of Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria, Latvia and the Czech Republic visited Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili at his country house and vineyard in Kvareli (Kakheti Region, Eastern Georgia). The ministers took part in grape harvesting.

Saakashvili described the Georgian wine-making traditions and told about popularity of Georgian wine abroad. The ministers' visit to Georgia ends today.
