The 2003 draft Agreement between the Holy See and Georgia and future prospects for cooperation
No full textIn 2002, Georgia and the Georgian Apostolic Autocephalic Orthodox Church signed the Constitutional Agreement, which established a new legal model of the state–church relationship. After this event, Georgia and the Holy See drafted a special agreement that was supposed to be signed in September 2003.
