Ambassador to Georgia🇸🇪🇬🇪. Ex-Ambassador to Moldova🇲🇩 2018-2021. Served in 🇪🇺🇷🇺

The @OSCE is built on strong commitments to human rights, democracy and the rule of law. 🇸🇪 welcomes the Moscow Mechanism mission’s independent expert report and recommendations on the alarming situation in 🇬🇪. The #OSCE #MoscowMechanism provides the opportunity to investigate issues related to the OSCE human dimension and is an important tool for accountability. We urge the Georgian authorities to implement the recommendations in full.




The situation in Georgia is deteriorating further. New legislation adopted by the ruling party would effectively prevent all foreign funding to independent organisations, criminalise core civic activity, and impede political activity. This is incompatible with democratic principles and Georgia’s international human rights obligations. We urge the Georgian authorities to reverse their authoritarian course. Sweden remains a long-standing friend and reliable partner of the Georgian people. eeas.europa.eu/eeas/georgia-s…

🇪🇺 suspended visa-free travel for holders of 🇬🇪 diplomatic, service and official passports. 🇬🇪 has ignored 🇪🇺 recommendations and violated its commitments. Violations have consequences. It's up to Georgian authorities to redress the situation: link.europa.eu/mgpvMJ
