EU Ambassador says Georgia may lose its chance to become a member of the European Union

Georgia may lose the chance to join the European Union (EU). The EU Ambassador to Tbilisi Pavel Gerchinsky told reporters on Saturday, June 21.

According to Gerchinsky, Georgia became a candidate for EU membership in 2023, but now the country's European integration has been suspended.

"It is a pity that Georgia may lose its historical chance to become a member of the European Union for a long time, moreover, democracy in Georgia is in danger," TASS quoted Gerchinsky as saying.

The Ambassador stressed that on June 23, at a meeting of the EU foreign ministers, diplomats may also discuss the issue of Georgia, namely disinformation directed against the European Union, the possibility of imposing sanctions and the establishment of a visa-free regime.

The country's authorities are changing course due to hostility with the EU and Trump's silence

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on June 12 that the EU was wary of the Georgian government and considered it a "beast." He noted seven percent economic growth and a reduction in government debt. Despite the fact that the "global liberals" tried to interfere in the country's politics in 2022, Georgia managed to maintain its government.
