The Georgian ambassador to the United States, David Zalkaliani, announced his departure from the post after authorities postponed Georgia’s negotiations for EU accession. Formula TV channel reported this, citing a source in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the news arrives at a moment when Georgia faces intense scrutiny from Western partners over reform commitments. The move signals a significant shift in the nation’s diplomatic lineup as Georgia weighs its future alignment with European institutions amid domestic political turbulence. Analysts in Washington and Brussels have warned that such changes could influence the tone and tempo of Georgia’s relationships with its primary allies, depending on who will lead the embassy in Washington and how the government frames its foreign policy in the months ahead.
