Protests in Georgia intensified after the government’s decision to delay EU accession negotiations until 2028. Demonstrators in Tbilisi attacked the parliament building with fireworks and stones, prompting security forces to respond with water cannons from inside the building.

In Batumi, near the Turkish border, protesters gathered outside the Adjara Government Building, waving EU and Georgian flags and calling for the release of detained demonstrators. The protests, now in their fourth day, reflect widespread dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze’s decision.
