EU representatives speak about the suspension of Georgia’s European integration process

European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos stated while presenting the 2026 enlargement package in the European Parliament that Georgia's ruling party continues to undermine the country's European path by attacking democratic principles, the rule of law, and fundamental rights. According to her, attempts to ban opposition parties threaten the foundations of democracy, which is why enlargement policy can no longer be the central framework for relations with Georgia at this stage. Speaking on the same issue, EU Ambassador to Georgia Pawel Herczynski noted that attempts to ban opposition parties through the Constitutional Court damage the foundations of democracy. 1TV+5

High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas stated that Georgia is on a path of confrontation with the EU. According to Kallas, discussions are underway regarding the sanctioning of ministers who used violence against peaceful protesters, although there is no consensus yet among EU member states on this issue.

Marta Kos emphasized that the responsibility for changing the situation lies entirely with the Georgian government. Despite the suspended process, the European Commissioner declares that the EU's door is open for Georgia if the government changes course and confirms its commitment to democratic values. 1TV+5
