"Georgia has departed from the basic democratic principles and key political commitments made under the Association Agreement", the European Parliament's assessment on Georgia
The Parliament of Georgia appointed Karlo Katsitadze and Lela Janashvili to lead the Special Investigation Service and Personal Data Protection Services respectively on Tuesday, with the two newly created agencies replacing the outgoing State Inspector Service.
The legal team of the imprisoned former president Mikheil Saakashvili has appealed to the Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia to identify him as a victim following a Tbilisi City Court decision to overturn a State Inspector Service ruling against the Special Penitentiary Service for disclosing the politician’s personal data.
US Ambassador to Georgia Kelly Degnan has said that she shares Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili's concerns about a bill to replace the State Inspector's Service with two new agencies, noting that Georgia needs the experience of 'impartial professionals' like the State Inspector.
