Georgia's "foreign agents" bill, passed Tuesday by the country's parliament, is a step in the wrong direction, a NATO spokesperson said on Wednesday, the alliance adding its voice to other Western critics of the law.
"(The bill) takes Georgia further away from European and Euro-Atlantic integration. We urge Georgia to change course and respect the right to peaceful protest," the spokesperson added.
