The resolution criticises the EU for not recognising Georgia's October 2024 elections and for interfering in its internal affairs, urging the EU to respect Georgia's sovereignty and engage in constructive dialogue. It calls for a pragmatic EU approach focusing on mutual benefits in energy, trade and stability, and demands an end to support for opposition movements.

Key points

  1. Deplores the EU's refusal to recognise the legitimacy of Georgia's parliamentary elections and its interference in domestic affairs.
  2. Reaffirms that Georgia's political leadership is solely a matter for its people, free from external coercion.
  3. Calls on EU institutions to respect the Georgian Parliament's willingness to engage in dialogue and stop imposing unilateral demands.
  4. Urges the EU to engage constructively with the new Georgian Government, warning that pressure pushes Georgia away from cooperation.
  5. Calls for a pragmatic EU approach emphasising mutual benefits in energy security, trade and regional stability.
  6. Warns that EU intervention risks weakening its standing in the Caucasus and fuelling anti-EU sentiment in Georgia.
  7. Demands the EU stop supporting opposition movements not representing the majority and focus on dialogue with the elected government.
  8. Reiterates that sovereignty and democracy cannot be applied selectively and that international law requires respect for self-determination and non-intervention.
  9. Calls for a forward-looking EU policy recognising Georgia's strategic importance and legitimate democratic processes.

Who is affected

  • The EU institutions, which are urged to change their approach towards Georgia.
