New sanctions against the Georgian authorities include the termination of "Dream" mandates in PACE and the cancellation of visa-free travel for holders of diplomatic passports
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe questioned the powers of the Georgian delegation, which was fully formed by the ruling party "Georgian Dream", and must make a decision on their suspension. The initiative, which was put forward by the Swedish MP Boriana Oberg, was supported by more than 30 PACE members. This, according to the Statute of the Assembly, is enough to make a decision without extensive discussion. The matter was referred to the Monitoring Committee, and the decision will be announced within 24 hours.
