Gitanas Nausėda emphasized that Lithuania observes with concern the Georgian government’s decisions to suspend Georgia’s EU accession process.
“We firmly support the Georgian people’s aspirations for European integration and their unwavering commitment to democratic values. The current government’s actions are inconsistent with the expectations of the country’s President and a significant portion of Georgian society. We condemn the use of force against the Georgian people and their detention, and we urge the government to put an immediate stop to such practices,” the Head of State pointed out during a conversation with the President of Georgia.
Gitanas Nausėda reiterated that the parliamentary elections held in Georgia this October were neither entirely free nor fair. The Lithuanian leader emphasized the need for an independent international investigation into reported irregularities, pressure on voters and their intimidation, which may have affected the election results. The Head of State underscored Lithuania’s strong support for the European Parliament’s call for new parliamentary elections in Georgia.
