"The process is quite transparent. The non-governmental sector, international organizations, and certain members of the opposition are present at the candidates' hearing. We've already developed some opinions about this or that candidate, and the Committee will vote on Saturday”, - Guram Macharashvili, a member of the Legal Issues Committee, commented after the committee session, where the Supreme Court judges were being heard.
