Georgia\'s State Minister Kakha Bendukidze said the issue of Georgia\'s withdrawal from the Commonwealth of Independent States must be seriously assessed. \"It\'s a very specific issue involving benefits that Georgian citizens and commodities enjoy being in the CIS,\" Bendukidze told the press on Tuesday. If Georgia withdraws from the CIS Georgian citizens may face serious visa problems in the first place, he said. \"Georgia has a visa-free regime with all of the CIS\'s member-states except Russia. If it withdraws from the CIS, relevant bilateral agreements will have to be signed,\" the minister said. (Interfax)
