As a reminder, EU Ambassador to Georgia Paweł Herczyński spoke in Brussels about the prospects for Georgia’s European future, which was met with criticism by the Georgian authorities: Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze deemed it necessary to summon the diplomat to the Georgian Foreign Ministry.
EU Ambassador to Georgia Paweł Herczyński stated that Georgia is “at a crossroads” and its future depends on the choices made by the authorities and society. The diplomat also noted that there is a risk of deviating from the European path and that the EU is concerned about Georgia’s democratic backsliding. He urged Georgian society not to lose its European perspective.
“Georgia stands at a crossroads. The country’s future is not yet determined, but the decisions that will be made in the coming weeks and months will determine whether Georgia becomes part of the European family of nations based on democracy, the rule of law, and human rights, or, unfortunately, returns to its dark past,” the diplomat stated.
