Police officers stand in position as demonstrators gather to protest in front of Georgia's parliament in downtown Tbilisi on November 28, 2024, after Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said the country would not pursue European Union accession until 2028, accusing Brussels of "blackmail". The announcement came hours after the European Parliament adopted a non-binding resolution rejecting the results of Georgia's October 26 parliamentary elections, alleging "significant irregularities".
