Speaking to Georgian journalists in Milan, Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze reaffirmed his government’s commitment to securing Georgia’s membership in the European Union by 2030, stressing that resetting and strengthening relations with the EU is a crucial step toward that goal.

“By 2030, Georgia will be fully prepared to join the European Union, and resetting relations is essential,” Kobakhidze stated.

He accused opposition figures of deliberately undermining Georgia’s EU aspirations at key moments in the country’s integration process.

“Their objective is always sabotage. This started as early as the visa liberalization process and continued throughout discussions on candidate status and the opening of accession talks. The opposition acts as an agency of sabotage, consistently working against Georgia’s EU path,” he said.

The Prime Minister added that while the government is fully committed to advancing toward EU membership, the success of the effort will also depend on the attitude and support of European institutions.

“Our goal is clear: to ensure Georgia’s eventual EU membership. We believe that by 2030, the country will be fully ready, and re-establishing strong relations is key. The opposition’s visits aim to block this reset. We will spare no effort in this process—the rest depends on the approach of European institutions,” Kobakhidze concluded.
