Thornike Gordzadze and Ana Khurtsidze presented an overview of the current situation and the witness testimonies collected by the Institute. Among other things, they highlighted the legal reforms introduced by the Georgian Dream government that pose increasingly difficult challenges for the protest movement, the opposition, and media. The discussion that followed centered around what the EU and individual member states can do to support democracy and freedom in Georgia.

The meeting was also attended by representatives from the Swedish Foreign Ministry, SIDA, and several civil society organizations.
