The sanctions proposed by Kaja Kallas targeted state officials of Georgia involved in the alleged crackdown of pro-European demonstrations.
In the meantime, a separate plan to suspend visa-free travel for Georgian holders of diplomatic and service passports will move forward as it only requires a qualified majority. The plan needs to be developed by the European Commission, according to Euronews.
The sanctions were put forward by High Representative Kaja Kallas during a meeting of foreign affairs ministers in Brussels.
It marked Kallas's first proposal since taking office on 1 December.
