EU Foreign Ministers Discuss Sanctions on Georgia

The European Union’s foreign ministers have finished discussing possible sanctions against Georgia. Unfortunately, the talks were unsuccessful.

Hungary and Slovakia Blocked Sanctions

As was expected, these two countries voted against the proposed sanctions. This means that there will be no penalties for Georgia at this time.

European Commission Takes Action

Despite the failed vote, the European Commission is planning to propose a suspension of visa-free travel for Georgian diplomats. This move is likely to happen soon, possibly within the week.
