Germany is preparing sanctions against the government of Georgia at the level of the European Union and is working on "Plan B" in case of blocking by Hungary. Information about this is reported by the German publication Spiegel based on sources.

According to the publication's sources, in particular, the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working on introducing EU-level sanctions against the Georgian government.

The media writes that the corresponding initiative will be announced on December 16 at the meeting of the ministers of foreign affairs of the EU member states.

According to the sources, the German Europe Minister Anna Lührmann will present the initiative at the EU level with her colleagues.

According to the publication's sources, it is planned to form a "coalition of the willing". Sanctions are planned to be introduced at the individual level, against specific representatives.

For example, visa restrictions against the representatives of "Georgian Dream" are given.

According to the sources, Germany is trying its best to prevent the sanctions from affecting the population of Georgia.

According to the publication, within the framework of the "Weimar triangle" the action plan without Hungary was discussed by German European Minister Anna Lührmann, Polish European Minister Adam Szłapka and French European Minister Benjamin Haddad.
