🇪🇺 Embassies met this afternoon with editors of Batumelebi & @netgazeti.org & the lawyers of #Mzia Amaglobeli, who remains in pre-trial detention on criminal charges and on hunger strike since 12 January. 🇳🇱 Embassy recently released additional funding for independent media in #Georgia.

With #HumanRights under serious pressure in #Georgia, it was even more important for the 🇳🇱Embassy to award our Tulip 🌷 award for human rights defenders. Winner Nestan Ananidze, who does tremendous work with women and minorities in Ajara: ‘the award supports all Georgians fighting for their rights’.

Day #2 of 2025: ‘Bedoba’ in #Georgia.

A short hike to Shavnabada monastery with stunning views over the Caucasus range. Mt Kazbegi on the right. With a sky so blue it just had to be shared here :)

Beautiful first day of the year: blue skies over #Tbilisi, with the Caucasus in the back 🏔️

🇳🇱 FM Veldkamp:

Spoke with David Solomonia, the Georgian ambassador to the Netherlands who resigned. I thanked him for his work and expressed my support for the Georgian people and their European aspirations. I will also raise the current developments in Georgia during tomorrow’s OSCE meeting.
