**France and Poland Should Show More Hospitality, Says Georgian Prime Minister**

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has responded to statements made by the French Foreign Ministry and the Polish Embassy. He feels that these countries should be more welcoming towards Georgian citizens.

According to Kobakhidze, statistics show how Georgian guests are treated in different countries. The numbers tell a clear story: out of 33,000 Georgian citizens who entered Poland, only 16 were refused entry. In contrast, 750 Georgian citizens were denied entry to Poland, and there is no mention of them participating in any rallies.

Kobakhidze finds it puzzling that the French and Polish statements raise concerns about Georgian citizens participating in protests or activities on social media. He asks what relevance this has when compared to the number of Georgian citizens who are being refused entry to these countries.

In response to these concerns, France and Poland have issued warnings to their citizens traveling to Georgia. The warnings mention potential risks of being denied entry, including participation in protests and online activities.

**What Does This Mean for Travelers?**

These developments highlight the need for travelers to be aware of the policies and regulations of countries they plan to visit. Georgian Prime Minister Kobakhidze feels that his country is already demonstrating a welcoming attitude towards foreign guests, as shown by the low number of refusals.

However, for citizens of France and Poland traveling to Georgia, it’s essential to consider these factors before embarking on their journey. Understanding the potential risks involved can help them make informed decisions about their travel plans.

**Statistics Show the Truth**

Kobakhidze emphasizes that statistics are clear: the number of refusals is significantly higher for Georgian citizens entering Poland and France compared to those from other countries, including Georgia itself. He believes this disparity demonstrates what kind of hospitality these countries are offering to Georgian guests.
