EU Calls Georgia ‘Candidate in Name Only’ Amid Democratic Backsliding
The EU has issued a stark assessment of Georgia’s prospects for membership, describing the country as “a candidate country in name only” due to serious democratic backsliding.
Georgia is not on the trajectory to become an EU member state, neither in 2030 nor later
according to Pawel Herczynski, EU ambassador to Georgia. The European Commission published its annual enlargement package, highlighting unprecedented setbacks among EU candidate countries.
- Georgia is the only candidate country experiencing significant regression on its path to EU membership, said Kaja Kallas, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
Georgia has no viable path to the EU at this stage unless conditions change dramatically. It is now a candidate country in name only
, Kallas added.
