Georgia Faces Turmoil: Protests, Sanctions, and Political Standoff

The Baltic States have imposed sanctions on Georgian officials following a crackdown on pro-EU protests in Georgia, increasing pressure on the EU to consider similar measures. The protests erupted after the Georgian government suspended EU accession talks until 2028, leading to clashes with police and numerous arrests. The EU is debating its response, with potential sanctions and visa liberalization suspension on the table, though unanimity among member states is uncertain due to differing positions, notably from Hungary.
