DISINFO: Accepting Syrian refugees is the price for visa liberalisation

SUMMARY

Visa liberalization comes with a commitment to accept Syrian refugees, it is the price that Georgia has to pay for the visa-free travel.

RESPONSE

No evidence given, recurring disinformation. Visa liberalization does not encompass the commitment to receive Syrian refugees. Such a requirement is not included in the Association Agreement signed with the EU. eeas.europa.eu/headquarters/headquarters-homepage/23634/eu-georgia-relations-factsheet_en,
