Georgia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sharply criticized a report adopted by the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs, describing the document as “entirely detached from reality” and accusing EU institutions of fueling polarization and undermining relations between Georgia and the European Union.
The statement came after the committee voted on a draft report concerning the European Commission’s 2025 report on Georgia, prepared by Lithuanian MEP Rasa Juknevičienė.
Georgian Foreign Ministry says the report contains “deliberate distortion of facts, absurd allegations and information manipulation,” which it says amounts to disinformation and damages both the reputation of the European Parliament and public trust in the EU within Georgia.
“It is concerning that EU institutions are being used to carry out targeted attacks against the Georgian state, its democratic institutions, society and values, including the Georgian Orthodox Church,” the ministry said.
The statement further argues that the report represents “yet another attempt to foster polarization within Georgian society, to alienate the democratically elected government from the people, and to encourage anti-democratic processes and radical attitudes.”
The ministry also criticized what it described as “blackmail and intimidation” directed at Georgian society, calling it interference in the country’s internal affairs and unacceptable for any sovereign state.
Tbilisi additionally accused some EU actors of “weaponizing” the European integration process and linking EU membership conditions to issues that, ministry says, could undermine Georgia’s national security and increase regional risks.
“Such an unfair approach by EU institutions undermines relations between Georgia and the European Union and harms our shared interests,” the statement said.
Despite the criticism, the Georgian Foreign Ministry reiterated that Georgia remains committed to cooperation with the EU based on “respect, trust and shared values,” and expressed hope for what it described as a more constructive and fair approach from European institutions.
