The loss of Russia — Kobakhidze explained why Brussels does not change its attitude towards Georgia

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze cited the reasons why Brussels does not change its attitude towards Georgia.

"Most countries have The EU does not have its own independent opinion in decision-making. This is the main reason why they do not change their position on Georgia. For Europe, access to cheap Russian energy resources was very important, which they completely blocked. Russia was an interesting market for them, which they lost, and this was the way to the East for them. This path also failed. If the EU acted in accordance with its objective interests, it would try to find an alternative way to the East, including in trade and economic terms, and it is very clear to everyone that Georgia is the best way in all respects," the Georgian Prime Minister said on Imedi TV channel.

Kobakhidze once again stressed that there is no reason to change the attitude EU to Georgia.

"When countries The EU is not trying to rebuild relations with Georgia, especially since there are no objective grounds for non-restructuring, which once again shows that they do not have the resource to make independent decisions. This cooperation would be mutually beneficial, of course, and no less useful for the European Union, including in connection with the Eastern isolation faced by The EU after the start of the war in Ukraine," he said.

EADaily reported that Tbilisi suspended the EU accession process in 2024 in response to blackmail The EU will open a "second front" against Russia. In response, Brussels stopped helping the Georgian government and increased funding for the opposition and protests in Tbilisi. In addition, Brussels threatens to refuse visa-free travel with Georgia. At the same time, the Georgian authorities emphasize that they are ready to restore relations with Brussels if it changes its policy towards their country.
