Georgia criticises EU's "biased" report, reaffirms commitment to EU integration
Georgia’s Foreign Ministry has condemned the European Commission's latest Enlargement Package, accusing the EU of issuing "groundless" and "biased" assessments regarding the country's progress towards EU membership.
The ministry stated that the Commission’s report “articulates groundless negative assessments” and accused the EU of spreading political speculations, particularly regarding events surrounding the October 2025 municipal elections in Tbilisi, Caliber.Az reports per the ministry statement.
The statement noted that the European Commission has remained silent on the violence during the protests that took place at the time.
"Against the background of improving Georgia’s positioning in various global indexes, including in terms of government integrity, bureaucracy and fight against corruption, well-functioning government, as well as evident stable macro-economic environment and high economic growth, serious questions arise regarding objectivity of assessments given in the Commission’s report," the statement said.
In its statement, the ministry reiterated Georgia’s commitment to the EU and its obligations under the Association Agreement, emphasising its readiness for continued cooperation with the EU based on mutual respect and shared values, without external political pressure.
Earlier in the day, the European Commission published its Enlargement Package, in which it warned that Georgia's "continued backsliding" had left the country as a “candidate country in name only.” The Commission urged Tbilisi to demonstrate a “resolute commitment” to reversing its course and returning to the EU accession path.
