Prime Minister Of Georgia Reacted To EU Plan To Introduce Visa Restrictions For Georgian Diplomats

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobahidze reacted to the plan of the European Commission to suspend the liberalization of the visa regime for owners of diplomatic and official passports.

Speaking at a briefing in the government of the government, Kobahidze recalled that this proposal will be discussed at the European Commission in January 2025.

The Georgian Prime Minister emphasized that such a proposal is unacceptable for Georgia.

Any decision adopted by the European Commission will not have a negative impact on Georgia, he said.

“This is clearly an anti -loading step. This is a very sad blow against Georgia,” said Kobahidze.

The Georgian Prime Minister also shared information that the Bureau of Democratic Institutes and Human Rights (BDIPC) of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) published a report on the parliamentary elections held in Georgia on October 26

Kobahidze as a whole expressed satisfaction with the final report of the OSCE BDIPCh.

“In general, from the OSCE OSCE report, it is clear that the elections were free and competitive. This can also be judged by the general content of the OSCE/BDIPCH report,” he said.

Meanwhile, Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili and opposition parties that did not recognize the results of the parliamentary elections in the country and demanded their re -conduct, believe that the report “was evaluated in favor of the re -conducting elections.”

In Georgia, protests continues against the decision of the government to suspend European integration for four years.
