biggest contributor. Ambassador Herman's full speech is below:
"I am happy to be here on behalf of the European Union to mark the arrival of the first batch of 143
new, environmentally friendly buses for Tbilisi. We congratulate our close and good partners, the
Municipality of Tbilisi, the EBRD, who have been the main engine, our partners in the E5P Fund
and everybody, who have helped this day to come. We hope that the citizens of Tbilisi will accept and
like these new blue buses...(link)
