Josep Borrell’s visit once again shows that granting candidate status for Georgia is very important to international partners. Such a statement made Ana Tsitlidze, a member of the United National Movement.

“This visit once again confirms that, despite the fact that the government of Georgia, the Georgian Dream, is doing everything to prevent the country from receiving candidate status and to return us to the Russian orbit, our international partners are very well aware that Georgia’s citizens deserve to be granted candidate status. This opportunity cannot be lost.

This is also a warning to the Georgian government”, - says Ana Tsitlidze.
