Protests continue in Georgia against the government's decision to postpone negotiations on EU membership. In response, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia have agreed to impose sanctions on those responsible for cracking down on demonstrators.
This was announced by Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis in a post on the social media platform X.
“The three Baltic States jointly agreed to impose national sanctions against those who suppressed legitimate protests in Georgia. Opponents of democracy and violators of human rights are not welcome in our countries,” he wrote.
The Lithuanian Foreign Minister added that opponents of democracy and human rights violators are not welcome in the Baltic countries—namely Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.
It is worth noting that yesterday, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas warned the Georgian authorities that the controversial decision to halt EU membership negotiations until 2028, along with the violent dispersal of protesters, will have “direct consequences.”
“We stand with the Georgian people and their choice for a European future,” she emphasized.
