EU Suspends Georgia's Accession Process, Freezes €30 Million ($32 Million) in Defense Support for 2024

The European Union has suspended Georgia's accession process to the bloc, citing concerns over Georgia's recently enacted 'foreign agent' law. The EU has also frozen €30 million ($32 million) in defense support allocated to Georgia for 2024. This decision was announced by the EU Ambassador to Georgia, Pavel Herczynski, and was decided during the last European Council meeting. The suspension reflects a low point in relations between the EU and Georgia, with further measures being considered if the situation does not improve.
