The European Political Community format was a new and important initiative, said today Maka Botchorishvili, the Chairperson of the Parliament’s European Union Integration Committee.

In her remarks over the summit hosted in Prague, she noted the format should be used to “speed up” the process of Georgia"s integration into the EU.

“It’s the best opportunity when leaders of EU member states and representatives of candidate countries meet together and discuss similar issues. We have always wanted to be a part of such a process, and this is the best opportunity for Georgia to voice the country"s position and introduce our vision to our partners, how we see this initiative and how it can be used to integrate Georgia into the European family”, - said Maka Botchorishvili.
