Both Estonia and Lithuania have suspended visa-free travel for Georgian diplomats and officials, including for MP Mariam Lashkhi.

Activist Zviad Tsetskhladze, who was detained during the ongoing anti-government protests, expressed concern over Georgia’s possible isolation.

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

Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze made the comment in response to a question about the OSCE’s reactions to arrests connected to the 4 October unrest.

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.
The summons came a week after Georgia summoned Germany’s Ambassador Peter Fischer.
