We heard the message of veto. And we do hope that it is used, this time for a full reconsideration of what it requires to be a member state of the EU. Such a statement the Latvian Foreign Minister made at the joint briefing after the meeting with the President of Georgia.

“We are here as friends, as the closest friends of Georgia. We are not here to become parts of your internal political process. I want to be very clear about that.

Yes, we heard the message of veto. And we do hope that it is used, this time, for a full reconsideration of what it requires to be a member state of the EU. So, this is our message today. It’s also the package of other laws that we have a concern. We had a concern about how the demonstrators are treated, the right to peaceful assembly, it’s a basic human right and all governments have to ensure that. This is the main objective of our visit. Friends who are very open and who have vested interests in the Georgian future, but we also want to be clear that there are practical steps that need to be followed”, - said Baiba Braže.
