On April 16, Charles Michel, the President of the European Council, expressed his concerns regarding the ruling Georgian Dream party's re-introduction of the so-called "Foreign Agents Law." He asserted that this action is inconsistent with Georgia's EU aspiration and accession trajectory, underscoring that its adoption will bring Georgia further away from the EU.

"The Georgian people have chosen the European path, and in response, the European Council granted Georgia the candidate status last December. Let me be clear: the draft Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence is not consistent with Georgia's EU aspiration and its accession trajectory and will bring Georgia further away from the EU and not closer," Charles Michel tweeted.

On April 17, Dmitry Medvedev, the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, commented on the unfolding situation in Georgia regarding the ruling Georgian Dream’s proposal to enact a "Foreign Agents" law. Medvedev welcomed the initiative to adopt the bill, asserting that the ongoing protests are orchestrated by an "experienced and familiar Hollywood hand." He argued that both the Russian law and its Kyrgyzstani counterpart, as well as the proposed Georgian legislation, "quite rightly - requires them [foreign agents] to be transparent and prevents hidden illegal foreign interference in the internal affairs of the state, its economy and political life."

Medvedev claimed that the primary objection of the "protesters" to the "Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence" is that "it is a 'Russian idea' and not a Western initiative." He recounted the "fierce criticism from Western countries" following the recent adoption of a similar law in Kyrgyzstan, depicting it in a derogatory manner: "There were groans, shouts, and threats from European and American pro-government dumpsters. And also ingratiating but unpleasant appeals to the leadership of this country. How dare they? Who allowed it? An internal affair of the state? Security, sovereignty, independence? No, have not heard of that. This is not for you…"

He then applauded the "direct rebuff" to those who do not conform to Western opinion. Medvedev recalled the reaction of the US Department of State in 2023 when the Georgian Dream had to withdraw the bill "currently under discussion," stating that the U.S. assessed the bill as "incompatible with Euro-Atlantic values." "Well, yes, that’s true. Values are different. The Black Sea is not the Atlantic, Gruziya [Russian word for "Georgia") is not Georgia, despite the similarity of names," Medvedev noted.
