EU Considering Suspension of Visa-Free Agreement With Georgia, Says Ambassador Herczyński
EU Considers Suspending Visa-Free Agreement with Georgia Amid Rising Concerns
The European Union Ambassador to Georgia, Paweł Herczyński, has reaffirmed the EU's commitment to defending human rights in Georgia and globally. He emphasized that acts undermining these rights must not be tolerated or left unpunished.
Urgent Action Required to Avoid Visa Suspension
The European Commission's Seventh Report under the visa suspension mechanism, released on December 7, highlights Georgia's urgent need to implement reforms to avoid potential activation of the visa suspension mechanism.
The report follows statements from Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp, who proposed sending a clear message to the Georgian government that their recent actions carry significant consequences.
The EU Council of Foreign Affairs, scheduled to meet on December 16, is expected to discuss the potential suspension of the visa-free travel agreement with Georgia.
Pro-EU Protests and Political Turmoil in Georgia
Georgia recently witnessed mass pro-EU protests following the re-election of the Georgian Dream Party in parliamentary elections on October 26, which were widely criticized for irregularities.
Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze's announcement to suspend EU membership talks until 2028 further fueled protests, prompting calls from EU member states for stricter measures against Georgia.
EU Criticism of Recent Georgian Legislation
The EU Progress Report on Georgia highlighted that the adoption of the law on the transparency of foreign influence does not align with the government’s commitment to EU integration. This law, likened to Russia’s foreign agent legislation, has drawn significant criticism from the EU.
Government’s Response and State of Emergency Plans
Amid the ongoing protests, the Georgian government unveiled plans to declare a state of emergency and impose a curfew. Additionally, the ruling Georgian Dream Party intends to appoint Mikheil Kavelashvili as the new president on December 29.
Conclusion
The EU's deliberations on suspending Georgia's visa-free travel agreement underscore the gravity of the situation. Georgia faces mounting pressure to align its policies with EU standards to maintain its path toward European integration. The outcomes of the December 16 EU Council meeting will likely shape Georgia's future relations with the EU.
