Kyiv • UNN
Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili has vowed to veto the controversial law on "foreign agents," saying it does not comply with European values and hinders Georgia's European integration aspirations, amid Western criticism that the law undermines democracy.
In an interview with DW, Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili assured that she would veto the law on "foreign agents," UNN reports.
"We do not want this law. It is not in line with European values and does not bring the country closer to the European Union," Zurabishvili emphasized.
The President of Georgia emphasizes the importance of the country continuing its path to Europe.
"We have elections in five months. And during these elections, the people must speak out, confirm that we want Europe. This is the best way to reject the laws that do not correspond to the European path and return us to the course of negotiations and adoption in the EU," she added.
