“Alleged irregularities must be seriously clarified and addressed,” said Charles Michel, President of the European Council echoing the 2024 parliamentary elections in Georgia.
According to Charles Michel, Georgia will be put on the agenda of the EUCO informal meeting in Budapest.
“Following the parliamentary elections in Georgia, I intend to put Georgia on the agenda of the informal EUCO in Budapest.
We note the OSCE/ODIHR preliminary assessment and call on the Central Election Commission and other relevant authorities to fulfil their duty to swiftly, transparently and independently investigate and adjudicate electoral irregularities and allegations thereof.
These alleged irregularities must be seriously clarified and addressed.
We reiterate the EU’s call to the Georgian leadership to demonstrate its firm commitment to the country’s EU path, also in line with EUCO June and October conclusions.
Constructive and inclusive dialogue across the political spectrum is now paramount.
The November EUCO will assess the situation and set the next steps in our relations with Georgia,” he wrote on the X Platform.
