"Additional funds should be allocated to development of sports in Georgia."

Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili opened Friday a new hotel and an Olympic village with unique facilities for all kinds of sportsmen in the town of Dusheti in Mtskheta-Mtianeti Region.

The Olympic house has been intended for 100 sportsmen who can exercise as well as take a rest there. In the vicinity of the Olympic village, there is an Olympic centre, where all kinds of sportsmen exercise and are trained there.

The Georgian president said additional funds should be allocated to development of sports in Georgia.

`We have decided to open a big Olympic centre here, because, while a lot of politicians can`t see the rest of Georgia beyond the centre of Tbilisi and while Tbilisi is developing as soon as never before in the history, for me all regions should have their functions and all regions should develop properly`, Mikheil Saakashvili said and added that Dusheti had actually lost all the functions `therefore, the water pipeline, the roads we are constructing here is good, but if Dusheti does not gain any function, if people are not employed there, nothing will change`, he said.
