US Sanctions and Democracy Aid for Georgia Amidst Euro-Atlantic Integration Concerns.

This Act imposes conditions and potential sanctions on Georgian government officials who obstruct the country's Euro-Atlantic integration or are involved in corruption. It simultaneously increases U.S. financial support for Georgian civil society, independent media, and pro-democracy efforts, ensuring citizens can pursue their desired future. Georgian citizens can expect increased support for NGOs and independent media, while officials blocking reforms risk U.S. visa bans and asset freezes.
Key points
Imposes visa bans and asset freezes in the U.S. for Georgian officials and their families involved in blocking EU/NATO integration or significant corruption.
Requires a review and potential suspension of U.S. financial aid to the Government of Georgia, redirecting at least $50 million to support democracy and civil society.
