“Georgia has meticulously fulfilled all issues related to visa liberalisation and fits within the framework that defines border control, movement of persons arriving from third countries, and the strictness of visa control in Georgia,” stated the First Vice-Speaker of Parliament, MP Gia Volski.

Volski responded to the conclusions published by the EU Council Presidency regarding enlargement.

According to Gia Volski’s assessment, the encouragement of revolution continues to this day, and the document published today is a part of this effort.

“The concluding and substantive parts of the report and resolution contradict reality. If the law acted against someone and they were punished, this actually happened, according to the scenario developed by the very people who are voicing complaints against us today. They prepared, financed, and politically supported the development of extremist processes, came to Tbilisi and participated in radical opposition-organised rallies, and directly called for Georgia’s Ukrainization.

Some official figures from EU member states openly spoke about Maidan as well. The same goal remains: to somehow change the government in Georgia.

The incitement of revolution continues to this day, including through the publication of this recent document. Georgia has diligently addressed all issues related to visa liberalisation and remains within the framework that governs border control, the movement of persons arriving from third countries, the strictness of visa regulation in Georgia, and related matters. All these requirements have been thoroughly met. Despite this report, there is no expectation that visa liberalisation will be reconsidered, nor that the entire country and its people will be subjected to punishment. Some statements contain hints suggesting that the population deserves punishment for supporting Georgian Dream in the elections.

One of the mechanisms, levers, and forms of blackmail being considered is the suspension of visa liberalisation. There are different perspectives and a clear understanding of the real situation: the population in Georgia is not at such a low level of intellect that they cannot grasp what is happening in the world or understand what those who threaten us and shake their fists at us are truly after. We are prepared to continue the European integration process at any moment; we are ready today to initiate negotiations, even though by 2028, we will be at a much higher level. They also hold certain grievances against us for this,” Gia Volski stated.
