European Union leaders have expressed serious concerns regarding recent developments in Georgia, stating that the country's refusal to reverse its crackdown on civil society is jeopardizing its path to EU membership. In a statement resulting from the EU summit on June 27, the European Council called on Georgian authorities to clarify their intentions and reverse their current course of action, which is leading to a de facto halt of the accession process. Josep Borrell, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, announced an initial EU response, indicating that the Georgian government's actions, particularly the Foreign Agents Law, are taking the country away from the EU.
