Armenia must meet a number of conditions before its citizens can enjoy visa-free travel, and progress is rarely fast.

Armenian Interior Minister Arpine Sargsyan said it was a ‘historic step’ on the path to securing visa-free access to the EU.

Georgia accused the EU of using its accession as a political instrument.

The EU had expressed concern that Georgia could become a route for goods Russia needs in its war.

The EU top diplomat has also said that Brussels might suspend visa-free travel for ‘some groups’ in Georgia.

The EU has repeatedly warned the Georgian government that visa-free travel to the bloc is at risk due to the country’s democratic backsliding.

The EU has called on Georgia to uphold rights to freedom of assembly and expression.
