EU SUSPENDS GEORGIA ACCESSION PROCESS- Says Georgia has veered away from EU values and principles
EU Ambassador to Georgia Pawel Herczynski announced that the European Union has suspended Georgia’s accession process due to claims of Georgia’s diversion from EU values and principles.
In an annual report on the bloc’s enlargement policy released in Brussels on Wednesday, the European Commission told Georgia that it will not be able to recommend opening European Union membership talks with the country unless it changes course.
Pawel stated that Georgia is backsliding on the steps related to the fight against disinformation, political polarization in elections and on human rights, further adding that only if Georgia delivers on their reforms would it advance on the EU path.
Georgia’s governing party won a parliamentary election on Saturday and Moldova prepares for a presidential runoff election.
