Imedi TV on Thursday reported that the Georgian opposition is following a revolutionary scenario authored by Igor Blaževič, a prominent leader of the Prague Civil Society Centre.
The report suggests that the State Security Service of Georgia is already aware of planned unrest currently in development. Sources indicate that the State Security Service has received information regarding these activities from international colleagues and is initiating a legal response to the matter.
Imedi TV reports that Blaževič recently conducted training sessions for members of the opposition, marking more than ten such sessions to date. These meetings involve the distribution of specific instructions. Notably, the founder of the organisation Pari Davit Gunashvili was present at the latest training alongside opposition figures.
The report further claims that Blaževič was the individual who instructed the opposition-leaning TV Pirveli to circulate unverified reports regarding potential government changes.
Open-source information indicates that Blažević is currently affiliated with the Prague Civil Society Centre. His social media activity shows support for protest movements in Georgia. He frequently shares posts about ongoing demonstrations and criticises laws adopted by the Georgian Parliament, including the transparency law.
Most recently, publicly available information indicates that in 2025 he appeared alongside Tina Khidasheli, Gia Nodia, and Saba Brachveli at an event where he served as moderator.
Discussions at that event reportedly focused on sanctions, resistance, and potential changes in government.
