The European Union is considering freezing Georgia's accession process if the law on foreign agents is passed.
According to the Financial Times, the Georgian parliament, where the majority belongs to the Georgian Dream party, voted in favor of the controversial law on foreign agents, despite protests and warnings from the EU.
According to anonymous sources who spoke to the FT, the European Union is likely to postpone its decision on whether to start accession talks with Georgia indefinitely if the law is passed.
The anonymous official emphasized that this is an important signal to the Georgian government about the consequences of adopting the scandalous law.
Brussels has also made it clear that if the law comes into force, the European Commission will not recommend EU member states to start accession talks with Georgia.
