The project contributes to the sustainable enhancement of mobility and people-to-people contacts between the EU and Georgia. It builds on the experience of previous similar initiatives and addresses identified and potential migration-related risks of visa liberalisation in Georgia and the EU Member States, and maximises visa liberalisation benefits in areas covered by the project.
