The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia has expressed concern over what it calls the “groundless negative assessments” contained in the European Commission’s Enlargement Report and accused EU institutions of spreading political speculation.
In its official statement, the ministry said it was “deeply troubling” that the report and related statements “aim to influence Georgia’s internal politics,” which, it noted, contradicts “the spirit of EU-Georgia relations and our shared interests.”
The ministry says the European Commission’s report, released on November 4, 2025, presents a biased evaluation of developments in Georgia and overlooks incidents that occurred during the October 4 municipal elections, including what Tbilisi describes as “attacks on state institutions and violence by protesters.”
“It is regrettable that the Commission’s report is biased regarding Georgia when assessing a range of events,” the statement reads. “However, it is not surprising given the persistent silence of EU institutions toward the events that took place in Tbilisi during the municipal elections.”
The ministry further criticized EU institutions for refusing to engage in official dialogue with Georgia under the Association Agreement, citing the European Council’s June 27, 2024 conclusions as the reason. It also claimed the EU declined to assess Georgia’s Economic Reform Programme, despite the country’s improving performance in global indices related to governance, integrity, and economic stability.
“The actions and statements of the EU institutions regarding Georgia are concerning, as they seek to interfere in the country’s domestic affairs,” the statement continues. “We condemn all attempts to use the issue of EU accession as a political instrument.”
The ministry reaffirmed Georgia’s commitment to its agreements with the EU and emphasized its readiness for “constructive, respectful, and mutually beneficial cooperation based on shared values and principles — not coercion.”
