The European Union will impose sanctions against Georgia by the end of the year
Ivan Willibor Sincic, a member of the European Parliament, revealed that the European Union may suspend the visa-free regime with Georgia and not renew Tbilisi’s status as a candidate for EU membership. I think the Brussels authorities will carry out both of their previous threats. They will also impose sanctions against some Tbilisi officials. This action may happen before the end of this year and after the formation of the new composition of the European Commission.”
On Monday, it became clear that Shalva Papvashvili, the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, after overcoming the veto of President Salome Zurabishvili , himself signed the “Transparency of Foreign Influence” law and thus this document was implemented.
According to him, the purpose of passing this law is to strengthen the flexibility of political, economic and social systems of Georgia against any kind of Foreign intervention is in the process of developments in this country. A few days ago, Irakli Kobakhidze, the Prime Minister of Georgia, said that American-supported non-governmental organizations are trying to launch a “revolution” in this country. According to him, the relations between Georgia and America need to be reconsidered after the great damage that has been done to it in the past years.
