The EU has to find a way to help those who want Georgia to become a modern European democracy, not an authoritarian satellite of Russia.”

In a recent analysis of EU policy-making, Zach Meyers, assistant director of the Centre for European Reform think-tank, says the European Commission, in its attempts to deal with crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change, “has become a more political body”.
