鉴于格鲁吉亚政府镇压亲欧盟的抗议者, 要求重开十月有争议的选举, 欧洲联盟决定暂停格鲁吉亚外交官的免签证旅行。 The European Union has decided to suspend visa-free travel for Georgian diplomats in response to the Georgian government's crackdown on pro-EU protesters demanding a rerun of the disputed October elections. 欧盟外交部长同意这一措施,外交政策负责人Kaja Kallas指出,对格鲁吉亚人民而言,情况并不乐观。 EU foreign ministers agreed on the measure, with foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas noting the situation is not positive for the Georgian people. 虽然匈牙利阻止了更广泛的制裁,但欧盟将要求其执行机构欧洲联盟委员会为格鲁吉亚外交官提出暂停签证计划,目的是针对高级官员,而不会惩罚普通公民。 While Hungary blocked broader sanctions, the EU will ask its executive body, the European Commission, to propose the visa suspension plan for Georgian diplomats, aiming to target top officials without punishing ordinary citizens.
