The document notes that the European Council "reiterates its serious concern regarding the course of action taken by the Georgian government, which runs counter to the values and principles upon which the European Union is founded." "Such a course of action jeopardizes Georgia’s European path, and de facto halts the accession process," the statement adds.
The council also reaffirmed the European Union’s "readiness to support the Georgian people on their European path." In addition, Brussels "expects the upcoming parliamentary elections to be free and fair, in line with international standards and with unhindered access for international and domestic election observers."
The European Council called on Georgia "to adopt democratic, comprehensive and sustainable reforms, in line with the core principles of European integration."
