In a joint statement, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk have expressed concern over the current political situation in Georgia, Reuters reported.
The leaders of the Weimar Triangle nations stated that they cannot support the start of negotiations on Georgia’s European Union accession until the country implements necessary reforms.
The statement emphasized that “until Georgia reverses its current course and demonstrates tangible reform efforts, in particular by repealing recent legislation that contradicts European values and principles,” they would not support the opening of EU accession talks with Georgia.
Additionally, in a letter to EU member states’ leaders, European Council President Charles Michel indicated that European leaders will discuss the “situation in Georgia after the parliamentary elections and the way forward” at an informal meeting of the Council.
