On February 13, the European Parliament (EP) adopted a resolution on the “Further deterioration of the political situation in Georgia” with 400 votes in favor, 63 against, 81 abstentions, APA reports citing Civil Georgia.

The resolution was jointly tabled by the EPP, S&D, ECR, the Renew Group, and Verts/ALE Group.

The resolution said that the European Parliament continues to recognize Salome Zurabishvili as the legitimate President of Georgia. It praised her efforts “to peacefully steer the country back towards a democratic and European path of development,” and called on the President of the European Council to invite Zurabishvili to the upcoming European Political Community Summit.

The resolution called on the EU Council and EU members to impose an extensive sanctions regime targeting multiple layers of Georgia’s current political, business, and media establishment.
