The European Union has made a key decision impacting Georgia's diplomatic relations, introducing changes to previously established agreements. While discussions continue among member states, challenges remain in achieving consensus on broader measures tied to human rights and governance concerns.
The European Union (EU) has temporarily suspended the visa-free regime for Georgia's diplomatic passports, signaling increased scrutiny of the country’s political direction.
The announcement came from Kaja Kallas, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, during a press conference following a meeting of foreign ministers from EU member states. Kallas stated that the EU would continue to support the Georgian people despite recent developments.
"Going forward, we will continue to stand with the Georgian people, including by redirecting funding from the authorities towards civil society, independent media, and the Georgian people," she said, adding, "The future of Georgia, as it is for Syrians in Syria, should be decided by its own people.”
While addressing concerns about human rights and governance, Kallas noted that the EU could not reach a consensus on imposing personal sanctions against governments accused of repression and rights violations.
She also highlighted resistance from Hungary and Slovakia, which opposed proposed sanctions. Additionally, countries like Luxembourg and several others voiced objections to measures targeting Georgia's ruling "Georgian Dream" party.
The EU’s decision underscores ongoing divisions among member states regarding their approach to Georgia's political landscape and governance issues.
