46. Calls for the EU to end its confrontational approach towards the democratically elected Government of Georgia and to avoid a black-and-white contrast between the different parties; urges the EU to respect the domestic legal order of Georgia and to recognise the complexity of the internal political situation in Georgia and warns that its current policy will only increase the polarisation of Georgian society and politics; calls for the EU to recognise Georgia’s precarious security situation; considers that Georgia’s foreign policy choices are balanced and should be assessed against the background of its trade and other relationships with the Russian Federation;
