Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has sharply criticized European ambassadors, accusing them of promoting “radicalism, violence, and hatred” in Georgia. Speaking to journalists, Kobakhidze claimed that European officials are damaging the EU’s image by interfering in domestic affairs and failing to act in line with diplomatic standards.

He urged EU diplomats to uphold the Vienna Convention and refrain from fueling internal divisions. “European ambassadors must not present themselves to Georgian society as ambassadors of hatred,” Kobakhidze said, calling the current dynamic "deeply regrettable" and harmful to the EU’s reputation in Georgia.
