We urge the Government of Georgia to heed the warnings that this draft law does not comply with the norms and values of the European Union, and will certainly have a negative impact on Georgia's progress on the road to the European Union, said Deputy Spokesperson of the US State Department, Vedant Patel, on "Transparency of Foreign Influence".

According to him, the bill will negatively affect Georgia's progress on the road to the European Union.

"We remain deeply concerned that this draft law, if it enters into force, may stigmatize civil society organizations that work to improve the lives of ordinary citizens of Georgia. It can also stigmatize media organizations operating in Georgia to provide information to Georgian citizens.

We think that civil society, journalism, media organizations are the cornerstones of any democratic society, we call on the Georgian government to pay attention to the warnings that this draft law does not comply with the norms and values of the European Union, and, of course, will have a negative impact on Georgia's progress on the road to the European Union," Patel said. .
