The Foreign Agents Registration Act is a significant setback for Georgias democracy. It, along with new laws on broadcasting and grants, further limits dissent and freedom, impacting activists, civil society, and media. Such measures endanger Georgias democratic foundation and citizens future in a free society.

The European Councils conclusions in 2024 noted that these actions jeopardize Georgias EU path, effectively halting accession. The EU urges Georgian authorities to listen to their citizens democratic aspirations and release detained journalists, activists, and political figures. The EU is open to Georgias return to the EU accession path if democratic regression is reversed. The responsibility is with Georgias authorities.
