Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili on Saturday put a mostly symbolic veto on the "foreign influence" law that has sparked unprecedented protests and warnings from Brussels that the measure would undermine Tbilisi's EU aspirations.
Ruling Georgian Dream party lawmakers voted through the legislation last week in defiance of protesters concerned the ex-Soviet republic is shifting away from a pro-Western course back toward Russia.
The move has sparked a wave of protests unprecedented in the recent history of the Black Sea nation.
