The Georgian prime minister has claimed a top European Union official warned him he could be assassinated if he passes a Russia-inspired “foreign agents” law.
Irakli Kobakhidze said that he was warned to be “very careful” by an unnamed European commissioner, who referenced the recent assassination attempt on Robert Fico, the Slovakian prime minister.
“Look what happened to Fico and you should be very careful,” said Mr Kobakhidze, recalling the alleged threat.
