Lithuania firmly supports the people of Georgia and their European dream. About this, Lithuania President Gitanas Nauceda wrote on the social network X, commenting on protest promotions in Georgia.
The head of state wished the forces of the Georgian colleague Salome Zurabishvili in preserving the country on the European path.
“Place of Georgia in Europe,” wrote Nauceda.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobahidze on November 28 stated that the country would not raise the issue of the beginning of negotiations on joining the EU until 2028.
According to him, Georgia seeks to join the EU by 2030, but this path will require additional effort and time.
The head of government also accused some European politicians of interfering in the internal affairs of Georgia, emphasizing that the decisions of the European Parliament adopted in the last three years were rejected both by Georgian society and European institutions.
In protests organized in response to the government’s decision to suspend negotiations on the country’s entry into the European Union (EU) until 2028, Georgian President Salome Zurabashvili also took part.
Thousands of people expressed dissatisfaction with the decision of Prime Minister Irakli Kobahidze on the suspension of negotiations with the EU. At about midnight, President Zurabishvili, who announced the support of the people and the need to hold new parliamentary elections, joined the demonstrators.
Later, the politician went to the Square of Freedom, where she made an appeal to the police, urging not to use force against the protesters.
