It’s a choice of the Georgian parliament and the government what to do with the Law, but Georgia’s pro-European path currently is under serious challenge, Baiba Braže, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Latvia, told reporters in her doorstep remarks at the Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels.

“So we have sent a strong message as Baltic foreign ministers who travelled to Georgia to really speak both the government and opposition in Georgia and to stand for the pro-European choice of the Georgian people, which currently means really for the government, for the parliament to make the choice of what to do with the Law on the Transparency of Foreign Financing, and we have asked it to be repealed. The president has vetoed it, so it’s a choice of the sovereign country, of Georgian parliament and the government what to do with it. But again, the pro-European path, the pro-European future of Georgia currently is under a serious, I wouldn’t say threats, but the challenge. So I think that is what is most important,” the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Latvia stated.
