Brussels may extend visa restrictions for Georgian diplomats and impose sanctions on officials. The hearing is scheduled for January. The disagreements escalated after the adoption of a foreign influence law in Georgia, which was criticized by the European Union. Brussels also accuses Tbilisi of putting pressure on the opposition, independent media and protesters. In 2024, the process of Georgia's accession to the European Union is effectively stopped.
