Four out of every five Georgians are said to back joining the EU in this South Caucasus state.

The governing Georgian Dream party is widely expected to come first , but four opposition groups believe they can combine forces to remove it from power and revive Georgia 's EU process.

The opposition is calling a choice between Europe or Russia , but the government frames it as a matter of peace or war.

After the "foreign influence" law was passed during the summer , in the face of mass protests in the centre of Tbilisi and other big cities, he says he was personally labelled by Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze as a state traitor. "We were getting phone calls in the middle of the night . Our kids even were getting phone calls. They were threatened." Ahead of the vote, the EU warned that Georgian Dream's actions "signal a shift towards authoritarianism". Whoever wins Saturday 's vote, the loser is unlikely to accept defeat easily..
