Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has criticized the European Union for refusing to engage in direct dialogue with members of the ruling Georgian Dream party, claiming that EU officials are instead relying solely on written missives, Orda.kz reports, citing NewsGeorgia.
Speaking to journalists, Kobakhidze said there has been “zero communication” from Brussels apart from official dispatches.
Communication is zero, except for the dispatches they send. That’s exactly how dispatches used to be sent from Soviet Moscow to Georgia. Apart from these kinds of dispatches, there has been no connection with the European bureaucracy. This is a Soviet approach,
he stated.
On July 15, the EU sent an official letter to Georgia’s Foreign Minister, warning that failure to comply with eight conditions (including repealing the "foreign agents" law and anti-“LGBT propaganda” legislation) could end the visa-free travel regime between the two nations.
Responding, Georgian authorities said suspending visa-free travel with the EU was a form of political pressure.
