Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili vetoed the law On Transparency of Foreign Influence.

President announced at the briefing that the veto was judicially correct and would be submitted to the parliament by the end of today. 

“Today, I vetoed the Russian Law, which comes in conflict with our Constitution, and European standards and represents an obstacle to our European path. The veto is judicially correct, fully, and will be submitted to the parliament today. The law will not be subjected to any amendment or improvement and therefore, it is a simple veto meaning that this law should be declared null and void,” she said.
