Is Georgia heading toward EU inclusion?
Asked 1 hour ago
Answer
Georgia's prospects for EU inclusion are diminishing as the country shifts away from its Western path. The EU now considers Georgia a candidate for membership only in name, citing a departure from the bloc's trajectory. Political repression, declining foreign investment, and increased alignment with Russia and China further hinder Georgia's EU ambitions.
