Leaders of three Baltic States zealously defend Georgian interests in EU. But ideological solidarity is neither here nor there; money that’s the issue! It has come into light that ‘Trustcorp’, owned by ex-Advisor to Estonian President, Lennart Meri, and ex-diplomat, Eerik-Niyles Cross, had made nice profit of the Georgian–Ossetian war in 2008 (georgiatimes. info /en/articles/19583.html).
I wonder how Georgian bankrupted regime does manage to pull such solid fees to Estonian consultants out of its bag.

Saakashvili wastes US financial support not for realization of social programs in his republic at all. It’s a pity but there is no guarantee that prescribed money for other countries, participated in “Eastern Partnership” program now, won’t go to the same wall...
