A mission would be sent to Georgia, as announced by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Vice-President of the European Commission, Josep Borrell, during a press conference following the European Union Foreign Affairs Council meeting on 18 November, amidst concerns over alleged electoral fraud in the 26 October parliamentary elections.
"What has happened has to be fully assessed. You cannot say that the elections were not free and fair and not investigate them," HP/VP Borrell stated.
“We will study all the irregularities that have been denounced. We will invite the ODIHR electoral observation leader to explain to us what has been happening," he added.
HR/VP Borrell emphasised the importance of thoroughly investigating the election.
