Georgia's EU accession jeopardized: Foreign ministers demand review of Foreign Agents Law

Twelve EU foreign ministers are urging a review of Georgia's 'Foreign Agents' law, which resembles Russian legislation and has sparked protests in the country. Despite opposition from the streets and the EU, Georgia's Parliament has approved the controversial law, prompting President Zurabishvili to announce a veto.

The law, requiring organizations with significant foreign funding to be labeled as 'foreign agents,' could impact human rights groups and electoral monitoring. This move, seen as a threat to democratic freedoms and EU integration, has triggered one of Georgia's largest protest waves since its independence in 1991.
