Georgian authorities do not see the need to introduce a visa regime with Russia. This was reported by the Russian edition of the FAN with reference to the head of the ruling party "

“There is a specific [visa-free] regime [with the Russian Federation] in Georgia, which, by the way, was introduced by the previous authorities in early 2012. No risks in sight today. Based on this, there is no need for us to revise the visa-free regime introduced at the time,” said Irakli Kobakhidze.

According to him, there is no talk of any uncontrolled entry of Russian citizens into Georgia.. The authorities of the republic keep the situation under control and the Georgian authorities do not see any "

Recall that in June, when Ukraine and Moldova received the status of a candidate member of the European Union, Georgia was denied this. The leaders of the EU countries recognized the European perspective of Georgia, however, they determined some conditions for the corresponding decision.

Before that, the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, said that all possible candidates for EU membership should impose sanctions against Russia for the invasion of Ukraine and, in general, be in full solidarity with the position of the European Union in the international arena. He said this primarily in relation to Serbia, but clarified that the condition is the same for everyone.

Georgia never joined Western sanctions against Russia for invading Ukraine.
