flag Germany recalls ambassador from Georgia amid EU tensions over democratic backsliding.

flag Germany has recalled its ambassador to Georgia for consultations ahead of an EU foreign affairs meeting, citing months of escalating tensions. flag The move follows repeated criticism of the EU and personal attacks on Ambassador Ernst Peter Fischer by Georgian leaders, who accused him of promoting a "radical agenda" and interfering in domestic affairs. flag The diplomatic rift intensified after Georgia paused its EU accession talks following a disputed 2024 parliamentary election and cracked down on pro-European opposition and protesters. flag The EU is expected to address Georgia’s democratic backsliding during Monday’s meeting, with no immediate response from Tbilisi.
