Kaja Kallas: We put forward sanctions on those using violence against peaceful protesters

We put forward sanctions on those who are actually using violence against peaceful protesters, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, stated in Brussels.

Speaking ahead of an EU foreign ministers’ meeting, Kallas expressed concern over recent developments in Georgia. She noted that while most EU members supported the sanctions, two European countries have yet to agree.

“Yes, we will discuss Georgia as well. Of course, the developments are quite worrying. So, we are discussing what more can we do. We have put forward sanctions on those who are actually using violence against peaceful protesters. So far we haven’t been able to convince two of the European countries to also agree to this, but we continue trying,” Kallas said.
