Irakli Kobakhidze also said that there is a very serious prospect of a positive decision to be taken regarding Georgia:

"After Ukraine submitted its application for the EU membership, it was a kind of signal to us. A new window opened and that is why consultations on the application started and this became the main stimulus for such a decision. We reasoned and then made that decision. Of course, there is a lot to be done in order for Georgia to eventually become a member of the European Union. Draft bills are still being considered in the parliament, which are precisely related to Georgia's rapprochement with the European Union. This is an ongoing process, but we hope that Georgia will accelerate its membership in the European Union. Perhaps Moldova, a member of the “Associated Trio”, will make a similar decision. From today we must start working as intensively as possible," - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
