EU Foreign Ministers Discuss Sanctions on Georgia
The European Union’s foreign ministers have finished discussing possible sanctions against Georgia. Unfortunately, the talks were unsuccessful.
Hungary and Slovakia Blocked Sanctions
As was expected, these two countries voted against the proposed sanctions. This means that there will be no penalties for Georgia at this time.
European Commission Takes Action
Despite the failed vote, the European Commission is planning to propose a suspension of visa-free travel for Georgian diplomats. This move is likely to happen soon, possibly within the week.
