The Council of the European Union recommended lifting border restrictions for 14 other countries including Georgia starting July 1. However, the recommendation is not obligatory and member states have the option of opening their borders gradually and not for all countries at the same time.
Moreover, Germany has lifted entry restrictions for citizens of 11 non-EU countries including Georgia starting July 2.
