Germany, France, and Poland revoke visa-free travel for Georgian diplomats

The foreign ministers of Germany, France, and Poland have announced that their countries will adhere to the European Union's decision to revoke the visa-free regime for Georgian diplomats. The decision is linked to the political crisis in Georgia and the official suspension of European integration by Tbilisi, according to the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of the Weimar Triangle countries (Germany, France, and Poland) - Annalena Baerbock, Jean-Noël Barrot, and Radosław Sikorski - expressed their serious concern over the political crisis that emerged in Georgia following the parliamentary elections on October 26 and the Georgian Dream party’s decision to freeze the EU accession process.

"The cause of this crisis lies in the political course chosen by Georgia's ruling party and its departure from the European path," the ministers stated.
