The OSCE report prepared within the framework of the "Moscow Mechanism" is politically biased, contains serious factual inaccuracies, reads the statement of the Permanent Representative of Georgia to the OSCE and other international organizations in Vienna.

"The Government of Georgia expresses its profound concern regarding the Report of the OSCE Fact-Finding Mission under the Moscow Mechanism on developments in Georgia since Spring 2024.

While Georgia remains steadfast in its commitment to the OSCE principles and Human Dimension obligations, the Report contains serious factual inaccuracies, selective interpretations, and politically biased conclusions that fundamentally undermine its credibility and objectivity.

From the outset, Georgia maintained serious reservations regarding the potential for selective interpretation and politicization of the procedure of the Moscow Mechanism, which was activated by 23 OSCE participating States.

Nevertheless, in full respect for OSCE norms and in the spirit of constructive engagement, Georgia cooperated fully and transparently with the Fact-Finding Mission.

The expert assigned under the Moscow Mechanism visited Georgia on February 17–18, and the MFA facilitated all requested meetings with Georgian authorities at the highest possible level – the Prime Minister, the Chairman of Parliament, the Minister of Interior, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Education, the Chairman of the High Council of Justice, and the heads of key agencies, including the Prosecution Service, the Central Election Commission, and the Communications Commission, as well as the Public Defender. Extensive written submissions, legal materials, and access to relevant institutions and documentation were provided to the expert, ensuring that the Mission had the necessary information for an informed assessment.

Despite this cooperation, the Report fails to reflect the complexity of Georgia’s political and legal context, omits critical clarifications provided by competent state bodies, and selectively emphasizes isolated cases as "politically motivated," disregarding legal safeguards, ongoing judicial processes, and internationally recognized fair trial standards", - says Aleksandre Maisuradze.
