TBILISI (Reuters) - The European Union's ambassador to Georgia said on Friday that Tbilisi's move to effectively halt the country's EU accession bid until 2028 was "heartbreaking" and in conflict with the wishes of most Georgians, local media reported.
The Interpress news agency cited the envoy, Pawel Herczynski, as saying: "What happened yesterday clearly contradicts the policy of the previous government of Georgia, the policy of all the previous governments of Georgia, it also contradicts the wishes of the vast majority of the population of Georgia.
