"PACE insists that the Georgian authorities:

take immediate and effective steps to enable Georgia to resume the European integration process, in line with the European aspirations of the people, and to accelerate with determination the necessary reforms;

step up co-operation with the Council of Europe and engage in good faith in the process initiated by the Secretary General of the Council of Europe;

continue to engage fully with the Assembly`s monitoring procedure and work to ensure that monitoring mechanisms function effectively during the pre-election period, thereby ensuring timely warning of any democratic decline, etc.", - reads the resolution.

The document also states that, subject to progress on the above-mentioned issues, the Assembly will have the opportunity to re-evaluate the mandates of the Georgian delegation (with the possibility of suspending them) at its April 2025 session.
