My new contribution for the @eu_awareness Centre.

[EU Awareness Centre NGO @eu_awareness]

Georgia's European consensus was never debated — just assumed. When it was tested, it crumbled.

Numbers impress. Understanding endures.

Rarely does an essay state the dilemma this plainly. Worth reading.

Can America remain America? And if it changes, what happens to countries like #Georgia that built their strategic identity around American principles, not just American power? Amb. Tedo Japaridze asks the question few are asking honestly.

Today marks 40 years since 🇪🇺flag became the official emblem of 🇪🇺.

A symbol of unity, solidarity & peace, it continues to remind us what Europeans can achieve together.
From Brussels to Tbilisi, 🇪🇺 flag brings people together across borders.

What does it mean to you?

We no longer imagine the future. We fear it.
Ivan Krastev at CEU Vienna maps the terrain of the moment we are living through and asks the hardest question: do we even have the right framework to navigate it?

Europe built something extraordinary — then left it dangerously unfinished. Mario Draghi's Charlemagne Prize speech in Aachen is a strategic blueprint for what comes next.
I've analysed it for the @eu_awareness Centre.

In his commentary for the @eu_awareness Centre, Ambassador Tedo Japaridze highlights a key dilemma: #neutrality debates in #Georgia are ultimately about sovereignty, choice, and resilience.

31 March 1991 — a historic day when the people of Georgia overwhelmingly voted to restore the country’s independence.
This referendum was not only about sovereignty, but about a civilizational choice — freedom, democracy, and a European future. That will remain unchanged.
