The European Union has effectively halted Georgia's accession process due to the country's controversial 'Foreign Agents Law.' The European Council has called on Georgian authorities to reverse their current course of action, which is perceived as jeopardizing Georgia's EU path. EU leaders have expressed serious concerns over recent developments in Georgia, including a crackdown on civil society. Josep Borrell, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, announced an initial EU response, stating that the Georgian government's actions are diverting the country from European integration. The decision was made during the EU summit in Brussels on June 27.
