Demonstrations were also reported in other major cities of the South Caucasus country, including in Kutaisi, Zugdidi and Batumi. Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said on Thursday that the government had decided to delay debates on the opening of membership negotiations with the European Union until after 2028 and decline budget grants from Brussels.
