Georgian PM reveals benefits of adopting foreign agents law

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said “all the ongoing processes” in Georgia are aimed at the country’s full integration into the EU in 2030.

In his comments over the Georgian Parliament’s decision to override President Salome Zourabichvili’s veto on the foreign agents law, he said that without transparency and with “repeated revolution attempts” in the country “every year”, Georgia would not be able to become EU member state “even in 2040”.

"The transparency law will create a better basis for ensuring Georgia's accession to the EU," Kobakhidze said.

According to the PM, by 2030, Georgia will be better prepared than all candidate countries for joining the EU.
