We need to review our policy toward Georgia including the visa-free regime and Association Agreement, said MEP Rasa Juknevičienė at the ordinary meeting of the Foreign Affairs Committee.

According to the MEP, today’s situation in Georgia is far from what is expected from the candidate country.

“The initial draft of the report I am presenting is based on the European Parliament’s 3 recent resolutions on Georgia. The main points are the following: We condemn the democratic backsliding of the past few years that culminated with the rigged parliamentary elections in October 2024.

The only way out of this crisis is new democratic elections. The report notes that the EU has an important role to play and its duty is to review its relationship with Georgia. Regrettably, the response of the member states, except a few, the Council and the Commission, has been inadequate. There has been little reaction to our European Parliament resolutions on the situation in the country”, - said Rasa Juknevičienė.
