Story

EU foreign ministers asked Georgia to cancel a law called the 'foreign agent' law. They talked about this on Monday and might decide on what to do in June. The Georgian Parliament plans to vote on this law on Tuesday. The ruling party is expected to win and make the law official, even though the president doesn't agree. The EU thinks this law is bad and goes against some important suggestions they gave to Georgia to become an EU candidate. The EU wants to talk about what to do if Georgia doesn't follow the right path. They might put sanctions on Georgia's leaders or have a meeting in Brussels to discuss the situation. The EU is also thinking about making it harder for Georgians to get visas to visit EU countries. Some EU countries worry that waiting until June to decide might be too late if Georgia's government does bad things to stop people from speaking out.
