Nearly all of MPs voted for the legislation on Tuesday. It stipulates that organizations that obtain greater than 20 % of their funding from overseas should register as “brokers of international affect.” Critics see parallels to a legislation in Russia with which the federal government takes motion in opposition to the opposition and elements of society. The federal government in Tbilisi defends the challenge as strengthening transparency and nationwide sovereignty.

Russia has rejected any affect within the matter.
