Georgia summoned the EU ambassador over a statement about "dark times"
The Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned European Union Ambassador Paweł Herczyński. The reason was his comments regarding the political situation in the country. The ambassador claimed that Georgia was allegedly returning to “dark times,” which prompted a reaction from official Tbilisi and led to his summons to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
This was reported by SOVA.
On Monday, April 27, the EU ambassador attended a meeting with Foreign Minister Maka Bochorishvili, to which he was summoned in connection with his recent statements in Brussels.
Pavel Herczyński noted at the time that Georgia is at a crossroads and its European future depends on the choices made by the government and society, expressing concern over the rollback of democracy.
“The country’s future is not yet determined, but the decisions made in the coming weeks and months will determine whether Georgia will become part of the European family of nations, founded on democracy, the rule of law, and human rights, or whether it will return to its dark past,” the diplomat said.
In 2025, Georgia granted citizenship to over 2,000 applicants, most of whom were from Russia.
Earlier, Serbia began issuing citizenship to Russian nationals who had previously renounced their Russian passports but had remained stateless for a long time.
In Portugal, the processing time for citizenship applications from “golden visa” holders has exceeded 40 months. Previously, passports were issued after five years, but the waiting period has now been extended to ten years, marking a significant change for investors.
