Otar Berdzenishvili, Georgia’s Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Bulgaria, is resigning. The decision comes after the ruling party announced halting EU accession efforts until 2028.

“Throughout my extensive diplomatic service, I’ve been actively engaged with my fellow colleagues in advancing Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic integration process and building solid and trustful strategic partnerships with our allies, especially with the US. Our tireless efforts should not be undermined or compromised by any means”, - writes Berdzenishvili on social media and expresses solidarity with the protesters.
