The Parliament will call for public discussion of the draft law over distribution of powers between the Georgia’s central government and Adjara Autonomous Republic during the session on May 18.

The President of Georgia will nominate of Chairmen of the Supreme and Executive Councils for approval.

The President of Georgia also has the right to disband these bodies, in case their activity “would threaten country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
