Dear Marijan,

Please be informed that the Minister with the rest of delegation (Amiran Gamkrelidze, Sofiko Belkania, Mariana Mkurnali) will attend EB (first half, on 25th of January we are planning to have flight back to Tbilisi) and Georgia side event.  Should the Minister attend the above mentioned events on 21^st and 22^nd of January?

I wonder if you received detailed scenario for the event focused on Georgia.  Could you be so kind and tell me if  WHO will cover travel expenses for the rest of delegation?

Looking forward for your answer.

Dear Sopo,

As discussed please find below information regarding the meeting of the EB:

·         Sunday, 21 January from 15:00 a briefing on technical topics, this is for all EURO delegations, and EB members are much encouraged to participate because the Regional Director and senior management share first-hand fresh information from Director General

·         Monday, 22 January the Regional Director plans to have a lunch with the 8 EB members, this is a working lunch with European EB members and EURO senior management, discussion is on technical matters, again an opportunity to get information directly from the Regional Director

·         Wednesday, 24 January, 13.00-14.30; the Georgia side event;

For the minister the most interesting part of the meeting will be the first half, while the last days, Georgia could be represented by somebody else.

At the moment I have no detailed scenario for the event focused on Georgia. I think I will only be able to send that information in early January.

Best regards,

Marijan Ivanusa
