At the second summit of the EPC, I will state our position that Georgia deserves the status of a candidate, this is the only correct decision that our European partners should make, said the Prime Minister of Georgia before the start of the second summit of the European Political Community (EPC) in Moldova.

“This is the second summit in a row that is being held in Moldova. I think there will be very important discussions in which we will take part. The main topic, of course, will be the war in Ukraine and security issues on the European continent and in general, around the world.

I will also talk about our challenges, about the European perspective of our country. I will state our position that Georgia is ready to receive the candidate status. Of course, our country deserves the status, this is the absolute, the only correct decision that our European partners have to make. These will be the main issues.

I would like to take this opportunity to state our position that we certainly express solidarity with our friend Ukraine, the Ukrainian people. We all want this war to end soon, territorial integrity to be restored and peace to be established in Ukraine and in the whole world, and of course, our great desire and dream is peaceful de-occupation in our country, unification of our country”, - said Irakli Garibashvili.
