Police use water cannons to disperse pro-EU demonstrators in Tbilisi

Police clashed with protesters in the Georgian capital Tbilisi early on Friday (November 29), after the country's ruling party said the government would suspend talks on European Union accession and refuse budgetary grants until 2028, Reuters reports.

The country's interior ministry said three police officers were injured.

Police ordered protesters to disperse, fired water cannon and deployed pepper spray and tear gas as masked young people tried to smash their way into the parliament.

Georgia's relations with the EU have deteriorated sharply in recent months as Brussels has alleged that the government had resorted to authoritarian measures and adopted pro-Russian stands.
