Georgia will not consider the option of participating in that format.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia has repeatedly expressed a clear position on the initiative of regional cooperation in the so-called 3+3 format (…). We do not consider participating in that format, and therefore Georgia will not be represented at that meeting scheduled for December 10," the foreign ministry stated.
