The legislative changes and initiatives implemented by Georgia are aimed precisely at the direction in which the Council of Europe is thinking and working, to somehow limit foreign influences and to counterbalance the legislative framework against foreign influences. This is something that Georgia already has extensive experience in and that Georgia can share with other countries, - said Foreign Minister Maka Botchorishvili.

As she explains, the government will continue to work with them, within the framework of the Council of Europe, in order for their “experience to be better understood.”

"Foreign interference and foreign influences are generally a problem for many countries, this is not new, however, the extent to which this is recognized is another matter, we have seen a rather harsh attitude towards Georgia's fight against foreign influences. Unfortunately, we still see this attitude today, continuing from certain actors, while it is very clear that the legislative changes, initiatives that Georgia is implementing are aimed precisely at where the thinking and work of the Council of Europe is going, to somehow limit foreign influences and oppose the legislative framework to foreign influences. This is something that Georgia already has extensive experience with and which Georgia can share with other countries. Of course, we will continue to work among them, within the framework of the Council of Europe, so that our experience is understood more correctly than certain actors have done so far," said Botchorishvili.
