Georgia's president met French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna and EU chief Charles Michel in Brussels on Monday to drum up international support for the country amid mounting tensions with Russia. The visits come after after lawmakers were forced to drop a controversial "foreign agent" bill in the face of major pro-Western protests.
Following two days of large-scale protests last week, the ruling Georgian Dream party dropped the controversial legislation that would have labelled NGOs and media outlets that got more than 20 percent of funding from abroad as "foreign agents".
