Georgia may face problems during its accession to the European Union due to the adoption of the scandalous draft law on foreign agents. This was reported by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell.

In addition to Borrell, European Union Commissioner for Neighborhood and Enlargement Oliver Varhelyi also reacted to the adoption of the law on foreign agents in Georgia.

"Today, the Georgian parliament adopted the law on 'transparency of foreign influence' in the first reading, despite repeated calls from the European Union to reject this law and despite mass protests," the EU representatives said in a statement.

They called this process a very disturbing development and, according to them, the final adoption of this law will negatively affect Georgia's progress towards the EU. This law does not meet the basic norms and values of the European Union.
