The decision on EU membership also requires the readiness of the EU to open its doors to new members. Such a statement made today the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia.

“Along with the readiness of the applicant country, Georgia meets the necessary parameters and is ready to receive the status of an EU candidate country, we really deserve it.

The decision on European Union membership also requires the readiness of the EU to open its doors to new members, although there are differing views among member states on EU enlargement, which are well known. Completing the questionnaire by Georgia is only one of the first procedural stages of membership and it is important to consider it in a broader context.

It is clear that Georgia has always been a leading reformer in the Eastern Partnership region. All this have been confirmed by numerous international reports published in recent years”, - said Ilia Darchiashvili.
