  • The EU is considering 'clear sanctions' for third countries that do not cooperate on migration and security matters.
  • Georgia is under scrutiny for potential visa suspension due to alleged systemic violations and non-compliance with EU criteria.
  • Investor citizenship programs, or 'golden visas,' are flagged as a potential loophole for non-visa nationals to access the Schengen area.
