"Today’s session also concerned the issues of potable and irrigation water supply for villages near the dividing line, gasification, waste disposal, crop-yielding, funding of higher education for the students living in these villages, as well as the issue of involving a number of villages into the category of villages that are located near the dividing line.

The process of identifying the ways for the solution of problems runs not only during the commission sessions, but also regularly, in order to provide feedback timely and effectively,"- Mr. Paata Zakareishvili declared.
