Weimar Triangle Ministers Voice Strong Support for Georgia’s EU Ambitions
Georgia’s path to European integration recently saw a reaffirmation of support from the Weimar Triangle’s Foreign Ministers. In a statement issued on October 10, they emphasized the importance of democratic values and the European aspirations of the Georgian people amidst significant hurdles. Continued Backing Amidst Challenges The statement expressed clear concerns about the Georgian government’s actions, which have halted the country’s EU accession process. This de facto suspension was highlighted by the European Council’s declaration on June 27, representing all 27 EU Member States’ Heads of State or Governments. Addressing Democratic Concerns The ministers deplored several troubling developments: Threats of repression. The enforcement of the “Transparency law,” targeting NGOs receiving foreign funding. Legislative amendments limiting LGBTI rights. Attacks on civil society and independent journalists. These actions have raised alarms about Georgia’s democratic trajectory and its potential impact on EU relations. Calls for Change The EU Ministers urged the Georgian government to reverse its course. They emphasized that the depth of EU-Georgia relations is at stake and called for ensuring free and fair elections. The commitment to following OSCE ODIHR recommendations and supporting a free electoral campaign is paramount. A Commitment to Georgia’s Future The Weimar Triangle Ministers reiterated their dedication to Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. They emphasized their readiness to support Georgia’s society on its European path, highlighting the outstretched hands of the EU as Georgia navigates this crucial period.
