EU: Process to suspend visa-free regime for Georgian diplomatic, official passport holders ongoing

The process of the suspension of the visa-free regime for Georgian diplomatic and official passport holders is currently ongoing, the European Council said in a statement, Report informs.

The European Union reiterates its serious concern regarding the course of action taken by the Georgian authorities, including the adoption of the law on transparency of foreign influence, as well as other legislation which runs counter to the values and principles upon which the EU is founded and which represent backsliding on the steps set out in the Commission’s recommendation for candidate status: "Such a course of action jeopardizes Georgia’s European path, de facto leading to a halt of the accession process. We regret the Georgian government’s recent decision to suspend the country’s EU accession process until 2028."

"We stand with the Georgian people and their choice for a European future. The door to the EU remains open and the return of Georgia to the European values and the EU accession path is in the hands of the Georgian leadership. We call on the Georgian authorities to urgently revert to the EU path and adopt democratic, comprehensive and sustainable reforms, in line with the core principles of European integration," the council said.
