Poland and France Warn Citizens of Entry Denials to Georgia

The Polish and French embassies in Georgia have warned its citizens that it might refuse them at the country’s borders, especially if they had participated in recent protests. These are warnings issued in the context of the continuing mass protests in Georgia that have lasted for more than a year. The protesters are against Moscow-backed government, and have been triggered by the suspension of Georgia’s application to join the EU, and allegations of election fraud.

 

Poland and France Warn Citizens of Entry Denials to Georgia
By Iwo Mazur | Last Updated: 30 May 2025

Poland’s embassy in Tbilisi on Thursday recommended its citizens to weigh their past actions, including attending protests, being near demonstration sites or taking some actions on social media that might attract Georgia authorities’ attention. The embassy noted that many foreigners, including EU nationals, had been refused entry to Georgia in recent days.


Penalties and Risks of Re-entry
The Polish statement also said that among the foreigners who are protesting, penalties could include hefty fines while those who re-enter Georgia may have to pay up instantly. A similar warning came in the evening from the French embassy, which highlighted the danger posed to its nationals by the protests.


Tighter Borders Now in Place
According to reports, more and more foreigners (journalists, activists, human right defenders, politicians) have been barred from entering Georgia since November 2024, when protests have become increasingly radical. The first case in May centered on an EU diplomat denied entry for the first time. The move follows a push in parliament for legislation that would toughen the border and facilitate the deportation of protestors.

    Putin Admits Fuel Shortages Caused by Ukrainian Drone Strikes

    Vladimir Putin rarely admits things are going wrong inside Russia. So when the Russian president stood before senior officials on Sunday and openly acknowledged fuel shortages hitting regions across the country, it was the kind of moment worth paying attention to. Queues at petrol stations, supply gaps for businesses, and pressure on the farming sector — Putin named them all, while pointing the finger squarely at Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil infrastructure.

    Keir Starmer announced on Monday that he would step down as British Prime Minister, with a successor expected to be in place before Parliament reconvenes in September. The announcement came less than two years after Starmer led Labour to a sweeping election victory that many hoped would bring stability back to British politics. In the end, it was pressure from within his own party that proved impossible to ignore. Nominations to replace him are set to open on July 9, with Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham already emerging as the strong frontrunner.

What started as concern over flamingos and fragile ecosystems has quickly snowballed into something much bigger — a public reckoning over corruption, land privatization, and who really gets to decide the fate of protected natural spaces.

With a major NATO summit scheduled in Turkey on July 7 and 8, analysts are asking whether this could finally be the moment the alliance takes a concrete step toward bringing Ukraine into the fold. At least one prominent foreign policy voice thinks it very well might be.
