The heads of the EU countries decided to freeze 30 million euros for Georgia.

The EU Ambassador to Georgia, Pavel Gerchinsky, commented on this information.

Funds in the amount of 30 million euros were planned to be used to strengthen the country's defense capability, RIA Novosti reports.

The reason for the freeze was the law on foreign agents adopted by the Georgian parliament.

The intentions of the current Georgian government remain unclear to EU countries.

Gerchinsky stressed that the law on transparency of foreign influence was a step backwards for Georgia.

Statements by Georgian officials are incompatible with the declared goal of joining the EU.

The ambassador stressed that Georgia's accession to the European Union is currently suspended.

Earlier, the EU came up with a way to punish Georgia for adopting a law on foreign agents .
