EU turning its back on Georgia

The European Union would close the door for Georgia if its government continues on the same path, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell warned.

"The door for Georgia to become member of the European Union is open. But if the government continues doing what they are doing, this door will be closed," Borrell said.

According to him, the Georgian people will pay the consequences, will suffer the fact that the European perspective will be diminished or even cancelled.

The EU diplomacy chief noted the EU foreign ministers will discuss the situation in Georgia and potential EU steps against its background. He pledged to reveal the result of the debate after the meeting.

The statement was made following Georgia's adoption of the foreign agents law.
