Georgia Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticizes EU statements on court proceedings

The Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed concern regarding recent statements made by European Union representatives concerning ongoing proceedings in the Constitutional Court of Georgia.

The Ministry characterizes these remarks as an attempt to pressure the Constitutional Court and an interference in the country’s internal affairs. According to the Ministry, questioning the legitimacy of judicial processes before a case has been substantially reviewed constitutes improper pressure on a constitutional institution.

The Ministry further stated that the rhetoric used by EU representatives hinders an objective assessment of domestic political and legal processes, which may obstruct constructive cooperation between Georgia and the European Union. It has called on representatives to refrain from actions or statements that could be perceived as interfering with the independence of constitutional institutions.
