According to the Minister, the simplifications will refer to control procedures in case of entries from countries neighboring with Georgia. Cars basically enter the country from Armenia and Azerbaijan. Vano Merabishvili said that customs representatives will be checking only freight vehicles, while police will be dealing with the rest.
