Tbilisi has accused Western-funded organizations of using street pressure to influence election results and achieve regime change in the country.
Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has drawn parallels between the unrest and Ukraine's 2014 Maidan coup, suggesting that foreign actors are attempting to push Georgia to open a "second front" against Russia.
The European Union has rejected allegations of regime-change efforts, instead accusing Georgia of democratic backsliding and excessive force against protesters.
Tbilisi contests the EU's stance, arguing that Brussels is punishing the country for pursuing an independent policy and refusing to sacrifice its national interests.
The diplomatic tensions between Tbilisi and Brussels have escalated, with each side accusing the other of attempting to exert undue influence over the country's democratic process.
The situation remains volatile, with protests continuing in the capital and both sides digging in their heels over the issue of election results and regime change.
