Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili refuses to appear for questioning by the prosecutor's office, UNN reports with reference to Novosti Georgia.
"I would advise the prosecutor's office to do their job and avoid political information about accounts with the president," Zurabishvili said at the briefing.
Earlier, the Georgian prosecutor's office announced that it had launched an investigation following allegations of election fraud in Georgia, and President Saloma Zurabishvili was summoned for questioning.

"It turns out that the prosecutor's office is waiting for evidence from me. As far as I knew, it was probably the other way around, it was the investigative bodies that should be collecting evidence themselves... In any normal country, this is the case. I don't know of any precedent for investigative bodies asking the president for evidence about the election," the president said.
She noted that European Commission representative Josep Borrell had also spoken about election violations and ironically asked whether the Georgian prosecutor's office was going to summon him for questioning.
"The list of violations mentioned in his statement is the same as that of international observation missions," Zurabishvili said.
