On September 14, the Court of Appeals of Georgia began reviewing the case concerning the events of October 4, 2025, when participants in an opposition protest allegedly attempted to bring about a "peaceful transfer of power." The majority of those convicted in the case are opposition politicians.
European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos, speaking to the Council of EU Foreign Ministers in Brussels, commented on the situation in Tbilisi. She reiterated that "Georgia has faced a setback [on its European integration path] like no other country."
Addressing the Georgian government, the politician noted that "if the country wants to move forward on the European path, they must act differently."
"We will continue to support civil society and independent media, because this is crucial not only to give people hope, but also to tell the government that it is wrong to ignore the wishes of the people," Marta Kos stated.
She also expressed hope that, thanks to the efforts of the Georgian people, "the Georgian government will return to the European path."
