WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland has banned eight Georgian officials from entering the country due to their alleged role in violence against anti-government protesters in the South Caucasus nation, the Polish Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.

Protests erupted in Georgia in November, when the ruling Georgian Dream party said it was suspending European Union accession talks until 2028. Opponents accuse it of pursuing authoritarian, anti-Western and pro-Russian policies.
