Kremlin says it's absurd to portray Georgia's 'foreign agent' bill as Russian project

The Kremlin said on Thursday that it was absurd for the Georgian opposition to portray a "foreign agent" bill that the ruling party plans to push through as a Russian project. Russia wants stability and predictability in Georgia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov added.

Georgia's ruling party said on Wednesday it would reintroduce legislation requiring organizations that accept funds from abroad to register as foreign agents, 13 months after backing down on the plan in the face of major protests.
