Грузия стала на один шаг ближе к безвизовому режиму с ЕС

Длительный легальный процесс по предоставлению гражданам Грузии безвизового режима со странами Шенгенской зоны ЕС продвинулся на один шаг дальше. В понедельник Комитет Европарламента по гражданским свободам, юстиции и внутренним делам одобрил данное предложение с подавляющим большинством голосов в пользу этого предложения.

44 депутата Европарламента проголосовали за, и пять выступили против него. Теперь же предложение должно быть представлено на полном пленарном заседании парламента, скорее всего, в октябре. Затем оно будет вынесено на окончательное утверждение в рамках «трехстороннего» процесса с участием парламента, государств-членов ЕС и Европейской комиссии.

За последние годы в рамках своих усилий по сближению с Европейским союзом Грузия реализовала очень серьезные реформы. Среди них значительные изменения как в законодательстве, так и на практике в целях обеспечения безвизового режима для своих граждан со странами ЕС. Данный вопрос должен был быть рассмотрен до конца лета, но его рассмотрение было отложено из-за проблем, связанных с другими странами-претендентами на безвизовый режим. В понедельник, Европейский парламент дал зеленый свет на продолжение данного процесса в отношении Грузии и Украины, но в отношении с Косово процесс был прекращен. Вопрос, связанный с предоставлением безвизового режима для Турции также зашел в тупик.

European States "disturbed and deeply concerned at the deteriorating situation in Georgia"

A number of European states have said that they are "disturbed and deeply concerned at the deteriorating situation in Georgia". In a Joint statement of 11 July 2025 the Foreign Ministers of Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the High Representative of the European Union commented on recent developments in Georgia We, the Foreign Ministers of European democracies, are disturbed and deeply concerned at the deteriorating situation in Georgia. We strongly condemn the recent, politically motivated, imprisonment and detention of the leaders of Georgian opposition, clearly designed to stifle political opposition in Georgia, a few months ahead of the local elections. Their detention, as well as arbitrary arrests and increasing repression of other Georgian authorities` critics, representatives of civil society, peaceful protesters and independent journalists, contribute to dismantling of democracy in Georgia and rapid transformation towards an authoritarian system, in contradiction to European norms and values. Recent legislative changes aim at stifling independent civil society and legitimate protest.
