The Prosecutor General's Office of Russia has designated the "Droa" party as an undesirable organization
The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has declared the activities of the Georgian political party "Droa" within Russian territory to be "undesirable." This information was reported by the Russian news agency TASS, citing the Prosecutor General's Office.
According to the Russian Prosecutor's Office, members of the party hold "distinctly Russophobic positions" and aim to discredit Russia's activities regarding Georgia.
The agency asserts that "Droa" opposes the normalization of political, economic, and cultural-humanitarian relations with Russia, and calls for the reinstatement of a visa regime and the cessation of direct air travel between the two countries.
The statement from the Russian Prosecutor General's Office also notes that the party accuses Russia of occupying Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region, as well as violating the norms of international law and Georgia's sovereignty. According to the Russian agency, "Droa"—registered in Georgia as a non-commercial organization with the status of a political party—is part of the opposition alliance known as the "Coalition for Change."
The Prosecutor's Office further states that the party's activities are aimed at exposing the ties between Georgia's ruling political elite and Russia, as well as promoting the idea of accelerating the country's integration into the European Union.
The agency reports that "Droa" actively supports Ukraine and the deepening of cooperation between Georgia and Ukraine; it also advocates for the country's accession to the so-called "Carpathian Eight." This format was established at the initiative of Ukraine and includes the participation of Austria, Hungary, Poland, Serbia, Slovakia, Romania, and the Czech Republic.
