The European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs will vote on a report on Georgia today, May 5, according to the European Parliament’s agenda.
The rapporteur on the issue is Lithuanian MEP Rasa Jukneviciene from the European People’s Party.
The explanatory statement notes that this is the second report on Georgia as an EU candidate country, prepared taking into account the European Commission’s 2025 report on Georgia.
“The report focuses on the European Parliament’s main concerns regarding the state of democracy, the rule of law and European integration in Georgia,” the explanatory statement says.
The draft report states that the European Parliament expresses its full solidarity with the Georgian people, “who continue to fight for a European and democratic Georgia against the backdrop of democratic backsliding, increasing repression, relentless hostile rhetoric, disinformation and threats.”
“The Georgian Dream has not only stopped, but actually changed the course of Georgia’s European integration,” the draft document states.
The draft emphasizes that the targeted personal sanctions imposed by the European Union and its member states against Bidzina Ivanishvili, the leaders of the Georgian Dream, judges, prosecutors and other officials are important. “
In addition, the document states that the European Parliament welcomes the launch of the Moscow Mechanism”by the OSCE, at the initiative of 24 member states.
