Reuters reported that French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk discussed their concerns regarding Georgia’s political landscape. In a joint statement released under the Weimar Triangle, the leaders stated that they could not support negotiations concerning Georgia’s EU integration without concrete reforms and measures.
“If Georgia does not change its current course and show real commitment to reforms, particularly by repealing recent legislation that conflicts with European values, we cannot endorse opening EU accession negotiations with Georgia,” the statement declared.
The leaders emphasized that for EU accession to progress, Georgia needs to align its legislation with European standards and values.
