Georgian PM slams EU’s decision to halt Georgia’s integration process as biased

 Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze sees the European Union’s decision to suspend Georgia’s integration process as hypocritical, being that the alliance still supports Ukraine and Moldova.

"At the same time, positive assessments are voiced about Ukraine and Moldova, where television channels and political parties are being banned one after another. There is neither media pluralism nor political pluralism there, with corruption running rampant, institutions weakening, and these countries facing a slew of huge problems. Moreover, Moldova is still a CIS member. Objectivity is what matters most and here, one can see none," he told a news conference.

On Thursday, the European Union announced it was halting Georgia’s accession process, accusing the country of going against European values.
