“We call on Georgia to withdraw from the red lines, to use the opportunity to de-escalate the situation”

The Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is concerned about the political situation in Georgia.

According to a statement from the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry, the parliament's decision to suspend legal immunity of Nika Melia, the leader of the main opposition party, and his possible arrest reduces the possibility of political dialogue between the ruling party and the opposition and raises questions about selective rule of law in Georgia.

"We regret that Georgia 's political leaders have so far not used the opportunity to resolve their differences over the upcoming parliamentary elections. Prospects for the future.

We are convinced that Georgia needs a government that will be able to make important decisions in the interests of the people, both in the context of the challenges and the implementation of the reforms outlined in the EU-Georgia Association Agreement. "We call on Georgia to step back from the red lines, seize the opportunity to de-escalate the situation and find ways to normalize the situation, as well as return to a constructive political dialogue," said Lithuanian Foreign Minister Garielius Landsbergis.
