The head of European diplomacy Kaya Kalas said that the European Union will discuss the abolition of the visa-free regime for Georgian citizens in early 2027. According to Nikolai Silaev, a leading researcher at the Center for Caucasus Issues and Regional Security at MGIMO, who he shared with Reedus, the abolition of visa-free travel with the EU will not have practical meaning for Georgia, but it does have a practical meaning for Georgia. Otherwise, Brussels has exhausted its methods to put pressure on Tbilisi.
