SSSG: Georgia low-risk country in terms of terrorist attacks  

The State Security Service of Georgia (SSSG) named Georgia as a low-risk country in terms of terrorist attacks.

In its 2025 annual report, the SSSG said that terrorist organisations do not consider Georgia as a target of attack due to its geographical location, but focus on the country’s transit potential and arrangement of rehabilitation infrastructure.

The SSSG notes that the situation may change at any time. The report emphasizes that the SSSG constantly conducted operational, operational-technical, and investigative measures to identify and prevent threats.

The Counter-Terrorism Centre actively cooperated with international law enforcement organizations, Interpol and Europol to exchange information. It continued to identify Georgian citizens and their family members who are directly or indirectly linked to terrorist organizations, are outside the country, but wish to return to Georgia in the future.

According to the SSSG, in 2025, two more Georgian citizens convicted of terrorism were added to the national list of terrorism-related sanctions.

“The counter-terrorism activities and results achieved by the SSSG were positively evaluated by foreign partners. In its Communique published on November 4, 2025, by the European Commission on EU Enlargement policy, Georgia’s measures against the fight against terrorism were positively assessed.

Based on the document, Georgia’s counter-terrorism legislation is largely in line with European Union standards and relevant international law, including UN Security Council resolutions; a permanent inter-agency commission is established, and a 2022-2026 counter-terrorism strategy and an action plan are approved. Georgia is involved in international efforts to combat terrorism. Georgia’s cooperation with Europol, Interpol, NATO, and UN counterterrorism programs is named as ‘active cooperation,'” reads the report.
