This beautifull foto is taken by Martijn from http://www.ditisdenhaag.nl/ on the 3d of december and published at 6 december. Martijn photographed me on 3 december in Den Haag, around luchtime, next to the Hofvijver, the lake next to our beautiful Parliament, and the fish shop Buitenhof, where I was eating kibbeling, very nice hot pieces of fish, with Buitenhof sauce.

Here on this picture you can see me on my - bicycle - way to the Georgian Embassy on the Groot Hertogginnelaan close to the Russian Embassy, to meet Georgian embassador Shota Gvineria.

In my Holland Action bag, that was in Tbilisi during the World Championship Soccer in South-Africa, I brought a real Langedijk cabbage from farmer Gerard Kamper from the Swaan in Zuid-Scharwoude. I have presented this cabbage as a symbol of the village Langedijk, that has so much agricultural experiences and contacts, useful for Georgia. Please ask Marina Todua how to cook this cabbage, batono Shota. I bring for her two cabbages that were on my boat during sail Amsterdam. She can cook it so nice...

The bicycle and wooden shoes are 100 % Dutch culture. The red and black, now I would say kvanchkara wine colour (Kvanchkara is wine from Racha area, one of the best red wines of Georgia) scarve i wear around my neck is more than 25 years old and was handmade by Nanda Vlam from Warmenhuizen, my first love when I was 20 years young.
In Warmenhuizen you find also Bejo company, see www.bejo.com

On my head I wear a typical handmade Georgian hat, that I bought on Rustaveli avenue, close to Rustaveli metro and the building of the Academy of Sciences where Michael Saakasvili went voting on 4th of january 2004.

The Georgian flag coming out of my bag is the flag that I have shown at Sail Amsterdam in august. The flag was recognised by our future King, Prins Willem-Alexander, when I was passing the beautiful yacht of his mother, Queen Beatrix, the Groene Dreack, the Green Dragon, where Willem-Alexander was enjoying the passing boats.

Prince Willem-Alexander is what we call in Dutch de beschermheer of Sail Amsterdam, the official protector. I drunk with our future King on the 27th of august at around 11.00 clock in the morning three glasses of Shtandart Vodka in the captains hut of the Shtandart, the replica of the flagship of Peter the Great, built in Saint-Petersburg in the period 1995-2000.

The woolen sweater I wear, you can see little bit coming out of my coat, is handmade in Georgia from Georgian sheep. Marina Todua organised it for me in 2005. The sweater was made by two woman in Varketili. It keeps me warm in the strong Holland winter now. But also when i went skiing in Bakurianai and Gudauri in Georgia...

The green coat I wear is a a coat from Lithuania that was presented to me by Egidijus and Geidre, who live in Lithuania and who are friends from Aida Kleivaite, the mother of my son Nidas, who is from Kleipeda, the port city of Lithuania.

On the back site of the coat is the name Dolena, it is the company where Egidijus works. Dolena builds very nice wooden log houses and exports them to countries in Scandinavia and Germany also. See www.dolena.lt .

So on the photo you see a world citizen from the global village Langedijk, dressed with Holland, Lithuanian and Georgian things.

Also watch his damaged glasses. He was beaten three times in one week in Tbilisi, Georgia, one time severely for more than two hours by III Massivi Police in police uniforms, and mr Brandsma is asking his Dutch Embassy in Tbilisi for help to officially do something about this Police Attack on an honest citizen from the Netherlands, friend of Georgia since january 1998.

Special Request to the President of Georgia

The lillies that you see on the photo are coming from Tsavkisi, where Eldari Baidashvili grew them out of bulbs from VWS Flowerbulbs from Broek op Langedijk. The foto is made by Afto, a stylist who was working before in the Vaxi shop in Nikoladze in Perovskaya.
The bulbs were brought to Tbilisi by Marcel Maria Brandsmas indmezarme. In 2008 Marcel Brandsma drove from Langedijk together with Marina Todua from III Massivi a VW Transporter more than 5000 km to Tbilisi with in the minibus about ten thousand pieces of lilia bulbs.


Dear Sandra,

Today, friday 3 december, I have a meeting with your Ambassador in The Hague. This text that follows first is in Dutch and I have added it to this letter, because you say you will do your best to help your ambassador Shota with action and advise.

You are right, once I had felt the Georgian cultural showers, it does not leave me anymore. All my eyes and ears are focussed on you, because you promissed to be the eyes and the ears of the President on your first Pirveli Kali First Lady Morning at 4 am, 5 january 2004, in the Metechi Palace.

I have written a letter for the President that I will deliver today at 4 pm at your Ambassador in The Hague. I wonder if I get an answer and also how quickly.

This is from the side of the Embassy of Georgia in the Netherlands.

Onze website is vernieuwd! We hopen dat u bij het doorbladeren van onze pagina’s nieuwsgierig wordt om in Georgië zaken te komen doen, erheen te reizen, Georgische liederen en taal te leren, gerechten te bereiden. Als u eenmaal kennis hebt gemaakt met dit paradijs op aarde, laat het u niet meer los.

Ik wens Shota, onze nieuwe ambassadeur, veel succes in zijn missie en zal mijn best doen om hem in raad en daad bij te staan.

Sandra Elisabeth RoelofsFirst Lady van Georgië.

And this is the letter I have given to your Ambassador Shota.

I am a person who went to Georgia many times, started to do business there, learned the alfabet and the language and some songs, Zuliko and Tbiliso, enjoyed my times in Georgia very much but also got in many troubles and therefore I hope you can help me with solving some of the problems I encountered, Sandra.


To the President of Sakartvelo, Michael Saakasvili

The Hague, The Netherlands, 3 december 2010

Dear President of Georgia,

I had the unexpected "pleasure" to be deported from your lamazi Sakartvelo on the 26 th of october. I guess I am the Pirveli Dutchman who is deported from the capital of the Caucasus ?

Ofcourse I want have a process against this unfair decission, that felt like an attack, a robbery, an O V E R V A L your wife Sandra would say.

The first court case with my appeal was yesterday, 2 december 2010, 2 pm Tbilisi Court Time.

But it was cancelled because I was not informed about the Process.

A new process will be, if I am well informed, coming thursday 9 december 2010 in Tbilisi Court.

I would like to ask the Permission of the President of Sakartvelo, to defend myself in this court case, to come to Tbilisi as soon as possible, so I can prepare myself for this important court case, not only for me, but for the reputation of Georgias Justice in the Netherlands.

Please answer my question as soon as possible. I know you are very bussy, but maybe your wife Sandra is this weekend in Holland to celebrate "Sinterklaas" and I can fly with her on monday back to your beautiful country with bevri problems ?


Marcel Maria Brandsma

Note on 10 december

As you can read in my other letter to Sandra, the court has postponed my case until your birthday, the 23 th of december, so there is plenty of time for the staff of the President of Georgia to answer my letter... and hopefully I get a positive answer !

Tulip bulbs waiting and letter to Ambassador Shota Gvineria in the Hague

4 january 2004, Tbilisi, Rustaveli. Waiting outside the State Academy of Sciences Building for Michael Saakasvili, candidate to be third President of Georgia. Next to Marcel are Nugzar Meladze jr and sr, mze-energy specialists from Bagtrioni street, Saburtalo.

Dear Sandra,

On the website of the Georgian Embassy in our beautifull Den Haag, the Netherlands, home of our Royal Family and home of our Parliament and Minitries, I saw your photo and your introduction.

I like to have a meeting with your Georgian highest representative in the Netherlands and for this I wrote already two letters. Here is the second one. So you have an idea, what I wrote to him. Coming friday, 3 december, I have a meeting in the Embassy with Embassador Shota Gvineria in The Hague.

Broek op Langedijk, 25 november 2010

Dear Embassador Shota Gvinera,

How are y in bussy The Hague, just after Misha has visited Brussels and NATO meeting ...

In 2003 at this time acting president Burdjanadze was getting ready to fly to Maastricht OSCE meeting to collect puli for Mishas first election day on 4 jan 2004.

I was in Maastricht during this OSCE meeting and made fotos for your government because there was no photographers coming with the media from MZE, Rustavi 2, Pirveli, etc.

Nino Burdjanadze was very happy with the photos that were given to her by Harry Molenaar, our first Dutch embassador in Tbilisi.

On the photo you can see me when I was waiting for Misha outside the State Academy Building close to Rustaveli metro and Rustaveli statue and Philharmonia where Misha went voting 4 january 2004. I gave him some pictures when he entered. Pictures that I took of Burdjanadze with Jaap de Hoop Scheffer and Colin Powell, people y know off course....

I have sent you a letter at the beginning of november to have a meeting with you.

Until now no answer. I have called to your embassy and spoke with Eka. And I asked her to call me back so we can have a meeting.

But also no answer.

Last monday on Saint George Day I was again at your embassy but you was not there and the embassy was closed because of Georgian national holiday.

I have left for you traditional Langedijk kapusta ostrov boerekool from Peter Vroegop, farmer in my lovely city. To remember also the seventh - swidi - anniversary of the Rose Revolution Day, 23 november 2003.

Please check www.bejo.com if you have no idea what kind of cabbage it is.

Or ask Robert Revia, director of Bejo representative office in Tbilisi since 1998, when Mamaladze got for 200.000 US dollars tesli from Bejo after he visited Langedijk through my mediation.

You can also ask Vano and Dato Eloshvili from III Massiv, Shilda, about this cabbage, they helped Peter planting it when they were in Langedijk in summertime in 2007.

I have given some photos to you together with the boerekool where you can see them when they were my matros during Sail Amsterdam in august.

Oosterdel Boerekool taste best with Kvareli wine from Chavchavadzes winecellar but ofcourse wine from www.ktw.ge is also not bad at all.

Please let me know when you have time to meet me somewhere between Texel and Rotterdam. I am willing to come to you, knowing that you are very bussy representing Sakartvelo in our lovely Holland that has everything Georgia needs !

On the other photo you can see Marine Todua that I met on the 5 th of january and who helped me promoting Georgia in Holland in many ways. I have for Georgia a few thousand Holland tulip bulbs that have to be planted soon in Tbilisi before the winter starts.

A nice project we could do together with the Young Georgians who want to learn more about growing flowers in your very good mitsa everywhere in lamazia Sakartvelo.

Eg in the Botanical Garden in Ortachala but also on Rustaveli or where is the statue of David Tetri the Builder close to Tegeta motors head office ...

For this bulbs it is now or never, our dutch bulbs have no Georgian time, they need to be in the ground asap...


I am waiting for your answer,

Sail Amsterdam en Marine

Marcel met Giorgi Isakadze, vice president of www.bag.ge the Business Association of Georgia. In january 1998 Marcel met Isakadze during a conference about renewable energy. Isakadze was at that time part of the staff of President Shevardnadze

Dear Sandra,

I am back in Langedijk now, getting ready for Sail Amsterdam. I left Tbilisi with my Volkswagen Golf on the day it was two years ago Stan Storimans got killed in Gori.

In the morning I drove to the Edelweiss Flowershop from David and Marieke, that I knew from Vaxi flowershop in Nikoladze in Perovskaya.

In Vaxi shop I have brought cut flowers and pot flowers in the beginning of 2008, in january. The first order of flowers that I tried to export to Tbilisi stayed in Holland. Agreements that were made about the shipping to Tbilisi were two times denied by Airzena, so my first export that cost me a few thousand euros, stayed in Holland.

On X-mas eve, the 24th of december, I drove with these flowers to Amsterdam. And I put the flowers at the Anne Frank Monument, next to the Westerkerk on the Prinsengracht and the Rozengracht. Other flowers I putat the Monument of Multatuli, on the Singel and on the Gay Monument in the Keizersgracht. In front of the house of the Mayor of Amsterdam is a monument that reminds us of the slave exports to the USA. Do you know that the house of the mayor was built from the profits of the slave export ? There I also put my first export flowers to georgia.

Marike and David from Edelweiss shop made for us a nice bouquet with white roses and gladioles. I added a small Holland flag from the football times together with a letter in Georgian and English. We drove with the flowers to the square where the Russian bomb exploded two years ago and made many victims.

The letter remembered the victims of the Russian bomb in Gori, especially our RTL cameraman Stan Storimans. And all journalists who are working around the world, informing us what is happening everywhere, to tell the importance of journalism.

Pirveli TV was there and also Imedi, so later I heared compliments of what I did there when I came back to Tbilisi.

Unfortunately my tardjimani translator Zaza Maisuraze was not there with me, like last year. He had to go to our Dutch embassy, to bring extra documents for his visa application. He brought his diplom of the Suchumi University and a reference letter from a German Human Rights Organisation. And also some money transfers.

visum geweigerd !
Zaza was unfortunately again refused a visa. For the second time already ! Oh my god, how angry I was ! The man that is very honest and reliable person and that helped me with many things, got NO VISA !

I wanted to speak with Patrica La Cognata, but she refused to communicate with me. I called to the emergency telefon line of the embassy and spoke with Heino van Houwelingen. He explained me why Zaza did not get a visa. He needed proof of paid work with bank statements, but Zaza did not have this. I found a very helpful man, refugee from Abchasia and unemployed and gave him work and dignity.

But this was not enough. I tried to work in Tbilisi and restart my activities and for this I wanted to show Zaza Hollands way of working, but my country did not want this ! Horrible !

dont sit on the grass

It was all day very hot, about 38 celsius, so I decided to sit on the grass in front of my embassy to let my emotions go and speak with our representative. But there was a sign in Georgian that I was not allowed to sit on the grass. But I felt overwhelmed by the heat and emotions. The security Guram, working for our embassy, called the police, same like last time, and they wanted to take me away from the grass. I said, I am not going, you can lift me up, I want stay on this ground !

Well, very disappointed I left the embassy territory and we drove back to III Massiv.
There I packed my things and we left at 7 o clock for the direction of Holland. With on board Vano and Dato, the sons of Marine Todua. They got a visa very quickly.

Sail and georgian flag on toidverdroif cabbage boat

The drive back to Holland was a long way, but we made it. We arrived on monday at 5 pm. I mmediately I went to my neighbour Pieter de Wit from the shipyard Houdt Moed. I called him one time from Tbilisi to ask him to prepare the Toidverdroif, that had not run for two years already, for Sail Amsterdam. When I came to his house, his answer was: "Marcel, the Toidverdroif is running OK and ready to go to Amsterdam !"
Good service, Pieter, who still works daily with his father, another Piet, who is already 85 years old, to maintain our traditional agriculture ships from the country of the 1000 Islands.

We had a test trip on tuesday afternoon with the Toidverdroif and loaded the boat at night with famous Langedijk cabbage and my Georgian matros Vano and Dato were of great help. And also my friend Jan Sterringa, who organised for us a trailer.

So Sail Amsterdam was going to have one participant carrying the Sakartvelo flag.

Unfortunately, pirveli matros Marine Todua came not with us, same for Nidas, pirveli stuurman from Toidverdroif. His mother Aida said Nidas had to prepare for his new school in Delft, but I think the best preparation for his new schoolyear is participating in Sail Amsterdam with the famous Toidverdroif boat from your father ?

But we will do our best to have the Georgian flag be shown to the nautical world during Sail Amsterdam.

Sandra, I hope one day also Georgia officially participates in Sail Amsterdam. I brought the Sud 1 from Lithuania in 20005 to Amsterdam Sail and this was the first time Lithuania participated in Sail Amsterdam. Now it is Georgias turn ...

You have Zeeland blood and Zeeland has a lot of water and sailing activities so I hope one day Georgia is also part of the international Sail world, because Georgia has harbours along the Black Sea.

The Toidverdroif went with Georgian flag and two Georgian matros, Vano and Dato Eloshvili, and with 800 kg cabbage from Langedijk to IJmuiden on wednesday 18 august. On thursday 19 august we gained a lot of attention and applaus from all the spectators and boats on the great Noordzeekanaal.

Vano and Dato enjoyed this attention very much and were proud matros, representing Georgia in the Sail In to Amsterdam.

Cabbage for Queen Beatrix presented by Vano Eloshvili from Tbilisi

Highlight of the visit was the presentation of a cabbage to our Queen Beatrix on board of the Groene Draeck, the Green Dragon, on sunday 22 august. Already in the morning when we passed the Groene Draeck, the boat of the Queen, the Prince of Orange Willem Alexander asked me if the flag that was on our boat was the Georgian flag. So he recognised the Georgian flag!

Vano later threw the cabbage in the Y harbour, where all the tallships were, to one of the crew of Beatrix and he gave the cabbage to our Queen and she was very happy with it.

In the Telegraaf, Hollands biggest newspaper, was a photo on the front page showing the happy Queen Beatrix with her cabbage. Also SBS 6 Shownews interviewed Vano and me and in evening of 23 august this was on SBS 6 TV with nice video from Vano who threw the cabbage. On youtube you can see a video that was made by a friend of my neighbour Pieter de Wit, the nineth generation of shipbuilders and maintainers from the family De Wit, from the shipyard "Houdt Moed !". See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMchDgPoAy8 or put in the two words koningin (queen) and kool (cabbage) when you are on the youtube site.

sauer feeling from dutch embassy in Tbilisi

How sauer it feels at the same time that tardjimani translator Zaza Maisuradze was refused a visa to travel to the Netherlands and could not be with us and how terrible it feels that my embassy in Tbilisi did not allow me to visit the reception of the Queens Birthday in Radison Hotel on 30 april 2010 this year in Tbilisi.

We all wondered what the Queen will do with our cabbage but it is the second time she got a cabbage during Sail Amsterdam !

Greetings, Marcel Maria Brandsma, still waiting for many answers from Tbilisi

Texel and Georgia

Sandra and Misha and Eduard are visiting Texel Island on 4 may 2005. It is the first time a Georgian President visits Texel. Sandra is already pregnant from her second son Nicholoz, who is born on 21 december 2005. Foto Marcel Brandsma - Toidverdroif

Dear Sandra,

My house in beautiful Langedijk is 10 km from Alkmaar and 40 km from Den Helder. From Den Helder it is 30 minutes by ferry to the lamazi island of Texel. I found out in Mscheta in january 1998 that there was a Georgian war tragedia at Texel during World War II.

In Mscheta there were toasts during the supra about Texel people who helped the Georgian soldiers to survive. This story I did not know. Also I did not know that the biggest battle at the end of World War II was at Texel.

Nidas Johannes Petras Maria Brandsma

So after I visited Tbilisi in 1998 in january two times I went back to Holland to my already 8 months pregant girlfriend Aida Kleivaite from Kleipeda, Lithuania. She gave me a lovely son and so I became father of Nidas, born on 19 th february 1998 in my house.

I returned enthousiastic back from Tbilisi and decided to invite Nugzar Meladze in my house. I showed him all my renewable energy contacts in Holland. He invited his sister from Germany and his friend Zurab Zurabishvili, opera singer from Austria. It was for my friend Aida a very bussy time, she was not so happy with all these Georgian guests in our house.

But we went together to Texel also and visited the Georgian cemetery - Russenkerkhof - on the Hoge Berg close to Den Burg, the capital of Texel. It was more me the first time then and after have visited Texel beveri many times with all my Georgian guests.

Kaha Imnadze

The first girl I met in Moscow in november 1992 when I visited a conference about youth exchange between East and West Europe was Aida Kleivaite. She was sitting at the bar of the cruise ship Rossia and she showed me all Moscow in the weekend before the conference started. Now she is the mother of my son Nidas.

The first Georgian man I met was Kaha Imnadze. He also was on the Rossia cruise ship and he told me a lot about your country Sakartvelo. This was in nov 1992 and in 1993 Kaha called me and said that he was in Den Haag, following a course on diplomatic political relations at Clingendael Political Institute. He visited my village Langedijk, took a boat trip with my ship Toidverdroif in the country of the thousand islands and gave me a black keramic bottle with Georgian brandy.

Kaha was the man who started to renew contacts with Texel and he brought a Georgian football team there. Later he called me from Brussels and said, Marcel, I am now representing Georgia in NATO, that is my job.

Aida and I visited Kaha in Brussels a few times and also met his collegue Teimuraz Gamtsemlidze, who came later to Alkmaar with a young Georgian dance group. Kaha gave me the nickname The Flying Dutchman.

Kahas last job for the government was pirveli spokesman for President Shevarnadze. I saw the opposition protests on Dutch tv in november 2003 and send a fax to Kaha. "Is everything OK there in Tbilisi ?"

He called me after a day and said:"No problem, Marcel, it is all sponsored by American (Soros) money. These demonstrators get paid dollars every day for to be here."

Two days later he lost his job. Misha took over with red roses and Nino Burdjanadze was sent to Maastricht OSCE meeting and Misha became President on 4 january 2004.

Shevardnadze and Texel

Because Shevardnadze was the last Minister of Foreign Affairs of the CCCP or USSR I thought it is a good thing that President Shevarnadze visited Texel.

Because of my good relations with Kaha Imnadze I asked him in 2003 to find out if Shevardnadze was interested to visit Texel. The answer was positive. Kaha said: "Shevardnadze wants to visit Texel, but according to the protocols, your Dutch government must invite him!"

With this information I decided to write a letter to Gerrit Zalm, Minister of Finance in Holland and also responsible for EU-Caucasus financial relations. From his spokesman I found out that he was in Tbilisi a few times.

In october 2003 Mr Zalm wrote me a letter back saying that the political situation in Tbilisi was critical and it was better to wait to invite Shevardnadze to come to Texel. He was right, in november 2003 Misha sent him away with roses.

Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende and Julius Vischjager

I already met Julius Vischjager, chief editor for the Daily Invisible, a weekly dutch small newspaper. He organised for me accreditation to visit Maastricht OSCE because he knew Jaap de Hoop Scheffer personally. Thanks for this, Julius.

I was happy to take fotos there, because Burdjanadze only took tv and radio journalists, no fotographers.

Julius can always ask the final question to the Dutch Prime Minister in his weekly press conference. He already has this right for many decades. So when Shevardnadze had to resign for President, Julius Vischjager asked our Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende: "Is Mister Eduard Shevarnadze still welcome to visit Texel after what happened during Rose Revolution in Tbilisi ?"

Our Prime Minister Balkenende answered:"Texel is a beautiful island and everybody is welcome there !" So Shevardnadze is still welcome there and I think he should visit Texel before he dies.

Wooden Shoes and Langedijk and Krtanisi Residence

So in september last year before I left to Holland via Antalya, I brought a letter to the Residency of Shevardnadze, asking him if he was still interested to visit Texel. But no answer.

So again on 4 th may 2010, exactly 60 years after Georgians start an attack on Texel (april 1945) I brought again a letter to Shevardnadze and this time it was translated in Russian by my friend Svetlana Kniaskova, who lives in Moscow and translates Dutch literature into Russian.

Read her translation Siegfried from Dutch literature writer Harry Mulish from Amsterdam. Siegfried is about fake son of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun.
I put this letter for Shevarnadze in a traditional dutch wooden shoe, a klomp we call it and delivered it in the morning of 4 may 2010 before I flew back to Amsterdam with Turkish Airlines.

And also I added a personal book from my own library about Texel tragedy, that I wanted to borrow to Shevardnadze to show photos from Texel tragedy. I think it is good if this book from Holland journalist is translated into Russian to tell the story from the Dutch side, because I discovered the Georgian version is a heroic version but it was a dilemma tragedy.

About this tragedy a Texel writer-musician wrote an opera. I visited this writer together with Tata Ivanidze from Vecheri Tbilisi newspaper and my friend Marina Todua from Iberia Times in november 2004.

So even now I hope Shevranadze visits Texel. I heared at his resedency he will visit Berlin in june 2010 because about his life was made a documentary. Berlin is only 600 km to fly to Texel, so lets hope Shevardnadze has the energy also to visit Texel.

Or he finds another suitable occasion, Sandra. What you think ? I was not happy at all with the words Misha spoke about the Texel Georgian Soldiers, words that I found on internet and that I have sent to you via your parents address in Zeeland.
