The European Union is ready to stop the regime of visa-free travel with Georgia if "Georgian Dream" continues its authoritarian trajectory. Politico writes about this.­

As the publication writes based on the spokesperson of the European Commission, "all options will be considered" if the ruling "Georgian Dream Party" continues its authoritarian trajectory, "including the potential temporary suspension of the visa liberalization regime."

"As part of the EU-Georgia visa liberalization dialogue and the relevant action plan, Georgia was required to meet specific standards, including ensuring the protection of fundamental rights and the prevention of discrimination...The assessment, of course, will take place in the case of events that pose a risk to the internal security of the Schengen area, as well as in the case of a further democratic decline in Georgia," the spokesperson of the European Commission told the publication.
