The Democracy Research Institute (DRI) published a Report on Evaluation of Implementation of European Commission’s 12 Priorities. Accoridng to the document, although the ruling party talks about the successful fulfillment of the conditions set by the European Commission, according to the Democracy Research Institute, significant efforts are still needed to fulfill the 12 priorities of the European Commission.

As a result of the content analysis and careful observation of the process, the Democracy Research Institute identified several problematic issues:

* Deepening of polarization - the Government escalated relations not only with the opposition, but also with almost the entire civil sector
* Clear demonstration of unwillingness for constructive cooperation with civil society organizations
* Formal character of the draft laws - part of the draft laws initiated in order to fulfill the priorities of the European Union miss the spirit of the recommendations of the European Commission.

"At first glance, at the beginning of the process, the ruling political party was working actively, which was manifested in the creation of working groups in the Parliament of Georgia and legislative changes, however, at the same time, the anti-Western narratives became more intense.

The biggest threat to the process of implementation of the recommendations of the European Commission was created by the draft laws initiated by the parliamentary majority (“On Transparency of Foreign Influence" and "On Registration of Foreign Agents"), which resulted in mass protests. Georgian Dream was forced to drop one of the draft laws during the second reading and to withdraw the other one from the legislative body", - the document reads.
