Latvia expresses concern over the legislative package recently adopted by the Georgian Parliament, which further restricts the activities of civil society and independent media, as well as foreign funding, — this is stated in a declaration disseminated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia.

“We continue to firmly support Georgia's civil society,” — the statement reads.

The Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also comments on the European Commission's decision to suspend visa-free travel for holders of Georgian diplomatic passports.

“The EU's decision to suspend visa-free travel for holders of Georgian diplomatic and service passports is a consequence of the country's backsliding in terms of democracy and fundamental rights. Latvia adopted this decision at the national level as early as June 2025,” — states the Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
