Zourabichvili vetoed the law on May 18, but Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili announced two days later that the ruling Georgian Dream party planned to overrule her vote. The legislation will now be sent back to Zourabichvili, who...

Taking a page from Russian President Vladimir Putin’s playbook, Ivanishvili ...

Georgia's parliament passed the bill in its third and final reading on May 14. "We have been very clear ... this is a showstopper," a person briefed on discussions between Georgia and the EU told the FT, adding: "(The Georgian governme...
