Georgia’s parliamentary elections on Saturday are about the country’s European perspective and the EU’s influence in the region. EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell spoke of a moment of truth in the run-up to the elections. The population would decide whether Georgia would become part of Europe or turn its back on it. The forecasts do not paint a clear picture. A stalemate is likely, in which the pro-Russian ruling party Georgian Dream, which is expected to be the strongest force, will try to buy or otherwise win over parts of the fragmented opposition.
