Regarding the so-called presidential elections that took place in the Georgian occupied breakaway region of Abkhazia on 15 February 2025, we recall that the European Union does not recognise the constitutional and legal framework in which they took place, - says the statement released by the EU Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Anouar El Anouni.

“The European Union supports the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Georgia, as recognised by international law. Regarding the so-called presidential elections that took place in the Georgian occupied breakaway region of Abkhazia on 15 February 2025, we recall that the European Union does not recognise the constitutional and legal framework in which they took place.

The EU will continue to pursue its policy of non-recognition and engagement”, reads the statement.
