This document is a collection of political assessments, not a legal conclusion. It contains accusations made against Georgia over the past two years - this Polish professor made it like an encyclopedia, - Levan Makhashvili, Chairman of the Parliament's Committee on European Integration, said while assessing the report published within the framework of the OSCE's "Moscow Mechanism".

According to him, this is a theoretical document that is not destined to be implemented in reality, since "it is completely disconnected from reality."

"This is a theoretical document that is not destined to be implemented in reality, since it is completely disconnected from reality. This is more of a list of political wishes than a real document based on concrete evidence. The Georgian side will also respond appropriately to this," Makhashvili said.

In addition, according to Makhashvili, the report contains information or assessments that go beyond the mandate of the “Moscow Mechanism”.

“Its mandate is not at all to redirect someone to other courts, to redirect them, etc. We expected everything, but this was still surprising, because this is not their mandate. They may seek certain information, and this is generally a format of dialogue between member states, and not to redirect them to other institutions, to the UN or the Hague or elsewhere. Therefore, this is clearly a deviation from the mandate of the “Moscow Mechanism” in this part.

As for the specific laws that are discussed in this document, nothing new has been said here. If we have heard any accusations against Georgia over the past two years, it is a kind of encyclopedic collection of these accusations - the same words and assessments. It is also surprising to talk about the “transparency law” as if it will be some kind of administrative pressure on organizations.

On the one hand, these are some theoretical conversations, on the other hand, we have concrete years of accumulated practice that shows that these exaggerated and political accusations are more baseless than having any connection with reality,” Makhashvili explained.

When asked what Georgia’s response and reaction would be, Makhashvili replied that “it will be difficult to say anything specific about what Georgia can do in response, because this is a list of some unfulfilled dreams and wishes.”

“It will be difficult for me to say anything specific about what Georgia can do in response, because this is a list of unfulfilled dreams and wishes.

These types of recommendations, if we can call them recommendations, have been responded to more than once, including during the parliamentary elections. Starting with the so-called camite, everything was given an appropriate response. Nothing will change by revisiting these topics again. It is good that the majority of countries in the OSCE also correctly assess this process and do not support this type of action, which is called the groundless activation of the “Moscow Mechanism” for the wrong reasons,” the MP explained.

For information, the OSCE published a report on Georgia prepared within the framework of the Moscow Mechanism. The report discusses the events that have developed in Georgia since the spring of 2024 and provides recommendations. According to the document, the main findings are that during the mandate period, democratic backsliding was observed in Georgia. According to the report, violence against demonstrators, political opposition leaders, and journalists was combined with complete impunity for perpetrators. The government has gradually curtailed freedoms of expression and assembly by adopting new laws that target civil society, the political opposition, independent media, and the LGBT+ community. In addition, the report says that Georgia should repeal the Foreign Influence Transparency Act, the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), and the Grants Act, which regulates foreign grants. The report also provides recommendations to Georgia, OSCE participating States, and the international community.
