The German Foreign Ministry stated that the temporary recall of Ambassador Peter Fischer from Georgia for consultations was intended as “a very clear diplomatic signal” to the Georgian government, according to German media reports.

A Spokesperson for the German Foreign Ministry emphasized that Berlin expects the Georgian authorities to refrain from personal attacks on the ambassador. The Foreign Office confirmed that a conversation had been held with the Georgian government regarding the issue.

“Now we are evaluating the Georgian leadership by its actions. We will draw further conclusions from this,” the spokesperson said.

The German Foreign Ministry announced the temporary recall of Ambassador Fischer on October 19, 2025, for consultations in Berlin. The ministry later reported that the ambassador returned to Georgia on November 6, 2025.
