President of Lithuania: Georgia is moving away from European ideas, we must react to this

Georgia is moving away from European ideas, we must react to this. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda announced this at a joint briefing with his Polish counterpart, Andrzej Duda.

"Unfortunately, the events, the planned legislative changes, clearly show that our neighboring country, Georgia, is not approaching, but, on the contrary, moving away from European ideas... This really creates obstacles for the peaceful continuation of the path of European integration. That's why we have to react to this," Nausėda said.
