“The introduction of a visa requirement for holders of diplomatic and service passports is another step to show that the international community, including the European Union, does not accept the repression of ordinary people, protesters and journalists, the impunity of the police and the silencing of civil society by Georgia’s ruling party, the Georgian Dream (GD),” Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said.
According to Tsahkna, the restriction of visa-free travel for Georgian citizens with biometric passports is also under discussion in the European Union.
Estonia has imposed an entry ban on 83 Georgian citizens.
