On the 28th of May, in a small country on the easternmost reaches of Europe, a new law came into effect.
For the vast majority of people around the world, this new ruling, in a nation of fewer than 4 million inhabitants, went largely unnoticed.

This week on The Inquiry we’re asking, ‘Is Georgia turning its back on Europe?’
