Georgians set to vote in hotly contested presidential runoff 9 SHARES Share it! In the runoff, Salome Zurabishvili is backed by Georgian Dream and Grigol Vashadze is supported by a coalition that includes the United National Movement. Zurabishvili, 66 was born in France and served as French ambassador to Georgia until becoming Georgia’s Foreign Minister in 2004. Zurabishvili’s opponents cast her as a pro-Russia candidate — the claim she and Georgian Dream hotly deny. “Diplomatic work in France for me was also a work for Georgia,” Zurabishvili said.
