Irakli Gharibashvili also told the media that his Government repeatedly warned the Georgian society about the destructive sabotage by the radical opposition, who continued to betray the national interests of Georgia and ask European colleagues not to grant the country the status.
“Importantly, Dear Friends, we have demonstrated unwavering commitment to address 12 priorities set forth for the EU Candidate Status. Through a rigorous, inclusive, and transparent implementation process, we made strong progress in completing them. We have taken a good note of all suggestions received from our European partners for the past few months and have made strong progress.
Therefore, Georgian people anticipate that Georgia’s performance and the current geopolitical context in the region will be fairly evaluated. With perseverance, dedication and a well-crafted plan to realize our nation’s civilizational destiny of joining the EU family, we look forward to attaining the Candidate Status.
It is evident that Georgia’s journey towards the European integration and strengthening of our global partnerships is marked by unwavering commitment and resilience. Despite challenges we face, we remain determined in our choice to align with the European Union and its values. Our commitment to a path of democracy, rule of law and transparency remains resolute. Georgia, as a European nation and a natural, global gateway stands ready to strengthen the European Union and to contribute to its better future,” – Gharibashvili stated.
