The preservation of democracy is key to stability and security in the wake of the August conflict with Russia, former Georgian Parliament Speaker Nino Burjanadze said at a Dec. 19 briefing at NDI. Burjanadze discussed the importance of strong democratic institutions, free media and an independent judiciary. She expressed hope that the establishment of a new political party launched in October, the Democratic Movement-United Georgia, would provide another constructive opposition voice.
