The Council of Europe Venice Commission has strongly recommended Georgia to repeal the Law on Foreign Influence in its current form.
We call on the authorities to follow the recommendation in view of safeguarding the fundamental elements of Georgia's democracy.

The decision will allow the extraordinary revenues from immobilised assets of the Russian Central Bank, to be used to support Ukraine's most immediate needs.
