EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said the Georgian Government was “bringing the country away from its EU integration path” after the adoption of the foreign agents law.
He sescribed Georgia's political developments as worrying.
"We had to regret that there is widespread disinformation about the EU and its values coming from official actors. We heard Georgian voices at the highest level, surprisingly stating that this law is bringing the country closer to the EU. No, this law and all the negative developments around it are pushing Georgia away from the EU," Borrell said.
According to him, this statement is being supported by 26 out of 27 members.
The official stressed that the overwhelming majority of the EU Foreign Affairs ministers are “very clear” that the Georgian Government was “bringing the country away from the EU”.
"If the [Georgian] Government does not change the course of action, Georgia will not progress on its European Union path," Borrell said.
