“In general, we observe that all issues related to European integration are being exploited and manipulated for political ends by Brussels. I do not rule out that this report may also serve as a tool in this regard,” said Georgian Foreign Minister Maka Botchorishvili, commenting on the European Commission’s upcoming enlargement report, scheduled for publication on November 4.

According to Botchorishvili, Brussels appears less willing to view the ongoing developments in Georgia with objectivity. As a result, she does not anticipate the report will contain any positive assessments.

“It’s difficult to predict what will be reflected in the report, although we can reasonably question how objective it can truly be. Throughout the year, we have observed a significant reluctance on the part of Brussels to examine Georgia’s ongoing processes impartially. This makes it very challenging to expect a fair or balanced evaluation in the upcoming report. We are so lacking in objective assessments from Brussels that we have not even been able to have it properly named or objectively evaluate the events of October 4, nor to distance Brussels from the violence and attacks against Georgia’s democratic institutions. As a result, it is difficult to expect that the European Commission’s enlargement report will contain positive or impartial assessments,” said Maka Botchorishvili.
