Kalas threatens Georgia with visa restrictions The European Union's foreign policy chief has stated that the current Georgian government has taken a course of confrontation with the European Union in a democratic retreat. She noted that steps are leading in the wrong direction. Callas said it was too early to discuss specific retaliatory measures, such as extending visa restrictions or imposing sanctions on officials, although the situation would be discussed in detail in January. The European Union aims to support the Georgian people while sending a clear signal of disapproval to the leadership of Tbilisi.
