Protesters gathered across Georgia on Saturday night in a third straight night of demonstrations against the government’s decision to suspend negotiations to join the European Union.

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

Georgians unhappy with delaying the country's EU membership talks have flooded Tbilisi's streets for the third night in a row. Clashes with the police erupted outside parliament, in an effort to disperse the protesters.
