Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced that Georgia will suspend all discussions related to European Union membership until 2028, claiming the European Parliament was engaging in blackmail.
The European Parliament's resolution cites significant irregularities in the October 26 elections, demanding urgent new elections within a year under international scrutiny to address these issues.
Kobakhidze expressed optimism for Georgia's readiness for EU membership by 2030, promising continued reforms despite suspending discussions for four years, as he criticized the EU's stance.
The deteriorating relationship between Georgia and the EU has been fueled by recent laws perceived as authoritarian and the controversial results of last month's elections.
