I am very happy that there is a plan and a will from the Georgian Government for fulfilling the 12-point conditions outlined by the European Union for granting the country the membership candidate status later this year. Such a statement made the member of the European Parliament Marketa Gregorova.

“Hopefully, this will help to depolarize political environment to some extent. Of course, all the stakeholders, the government, the opposition and the civil society, need to work together.

We might see some problems in implementation in the future. But I am very happy to see that there’s a plan and there’s a [political] will. We were waiting for this.

The Georgian opposition needed to cooperate as much as possible. Everything is written in the plan. It sounds really good on paper. I of course know that in practice it might be more difficult, they [domestic opposition] might push aside or something, but they also need to show the will to cooperate”, - said the MEP.
