EU Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos stated that recent legislative changes in Georgia are a cause for serious concern.
Speaking at a meeting of the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, the politician noted that “the progress of candidate countries on the path to EU membership is uneven.”
“An autocratic system of state control over political expression is further distancing Georgia from the European future that the majority of its population desires.
Our goal is to maintain Georgia’s connection with the European Union and to preserve the ability to protect the interests of the European Union,” Kos noted.
