Georgia has refused to change controversial laws to resume negotiations with the European Union Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobkidze said Tbilisi remains committed to European integration but has no intention of repealing legislation that has caused disagreements with Brussels. Speaking at the EU enlargement summit on November 3, the Prime Minister accused the European Commission of political pressure and using double standards. According to Kovacchiza, Georgia is ready to immediately start negotiations on joining the European Union if Brussels makes the appropriate decision. At the same time, Tbilisi offers to hold open public discussions with representatives of the European Commission on issues of democracy, the rule of law and legislation on foreign influence. We will remind you that Georgia received the status of a candidate for joining the European Union in December 2023. After that, the integration process actually stopped due to disagreements between the Georgian authorities and the European institutions. Vestnik Caucasus.
