Jozwiak: Debate on Georgia over – Hungary and Slovakia block sanctions

On December 16, EU Foreign Ministers discussed the political situation in Georgia at the Foreign Affairs Council meeting. Rikard Jozwiak, RFE/RL’s Europe editor, reports that the Council failed to reach the necessary unanimity to sanction Georgian Dream officials, but it did ask the European Commission to prepare an official document on suspending visa liberalization for Georgians holding diplomatic passports, which requires only a qualified majority.

Jozwiak reports that the sanctions issue was “as expected” vetoed by Hungary and Slovakia. “The European Commission will however propose visa liberalization suspension for Georgian diplomats, possibly as early as this week. There is a qualified majority for this,” he stated.

Paweł Herczyński, the EU ambassador to Georgia, mentioned the possibility of the EU suspending visa-free travel for certain categories of passports on December 9. He claimed that the decision was based on the expectation that some countries would block sanctions against Georgia.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó voiced his country’s promise to block any sanctions against Georgian Dream officials during Georgian Dream Foreign Minister Maka Bochorishvili’s first official visit to Budapest.
