European Commission’s Report on Georgia Faces Criticism
Georgia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maka Bochorishvili, expressed doubts about the European Commission’s forthcoming enlargement report. She believes it will not be favorable to Georgia nor accurately showcase the country's achievements over the last year.
Concerns Over Bias in the Report
Speaking to the press before the report’s publication, Bochorishvili pointed out that recent assessments by the European Union have appeared biased. She warned these partial views might influence the new report as well.
“Recently, we have observed that the European Union has made fewer objective assessments about Georgia. The evaluations are mainly biased. It is unlikely that this report will be positive toward Georgia and reflect the significant progress that Georgia has made.”
Minister's Basis for Skepticism
Bochorishvili based her concerns on the EU’s statements and actions over the past year, which she interprets as politically motivated against Georgia.
“We can already assume this, based on the statements made and steps taken by the European Union during the year.”
Her comments suggest a growing distrust between Georgia and Brussels regarding the evaluation process.
Summary: Georgia’s Foreign Minister warns that the European Commission’s enlargement report is likely to be biased and may fail to fairly represent the country's recent progress.
