The structure and functioning of Georgia’s honorary consulates in Poland

Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze the functioning of honorary consulates of Georgia in Poland. This text describes the structure of these missions, the legal basis for their activities, and the scope of consular functions they perform. The article utilizes various research methods. The institutional-legal approach was primarily used to characterize the functioning of such facilities in Poland. In addition, this method was used to analyze the sources of Georgian consular law regulating the operation of consulates of this Caucasian republic in various host countries. A comparative method was also employed to compare the practical operation of two Georgian honorary consulates in Poland. However, the basis for this article was the author’s own research conducted among honorary consuls of Georgia in Poland using the diagnostic survey method.
