Speaker of the Parliament has welcomed the European Union’s promptly made decision to consider the EU membership application of Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. Such a statement he made while presenting the 2021 annual report.

“Georgia is in a historical process. In one month, Georgia managed to answer 2,669 questions and send them back to the European Commission. Several hundred public servants worked on filling a 9-volume and 3,600-page questionnaires.

We are awaiting the EU decision and are actively working with the European Union and its member states to mobilize political support. Given Georgia’s past years and experience in implementing reforms, we expect the EU to respond positively to our country’s efforts and the strong will of our people.

The European Union can confirm a long-term interest in our region and limit the opportunities of the forces malevolent to Georgia by granting the membership candidate status”, - said Shalva Papuashvili.
