EU Commission issues warning to Georgia on visa liberalization

Rikard Jozwiak, a journalist covering EU affairs, has highlighted a key finding from the European Commission’s report on visa liberalization.

According to the report, Georgia must take “urgent action to address the Commission’s recommendations, particularly in the area of the protection of fundamental rights,” to avoid triggering the suspension mechanism that could jeopardize visa-free travel to the EU for Georgian citizens.

While other countries received positive evaluations, the Commission’s concerns over Georgia’s progress indicate growing scrutiny. This warning underscores the need for swift reforms to align with EU standards, particularly regarding human rights protections, which remain a critical component of the EU-Georgia relationship.
