EU Ambassador to Georgia expects that the Commission’s Opinion on the candidate status of Georgia will be ready in the coming days.

“I expect that the assessment of the European Commission will be published in the coming days. After that, there will be discussions between the member states about a possible decision that they should take. I will not start speculating on the results of the European Commission evaluation and the final decision of the Council of the European Union.

I’ll just say that no matter what the outcome will be. One major conclusion will again be the same it is time for Georgia to start working on this issue. Now is the time to sit down and ensure that steady progress is made in terms of what Georgia needs to do to join the European Union”, - said Carl Hartzell.
