I have been meeting with all stakeholders, all political parties, everyone was strongly advocating in favor of granting Georgia candidates. Such a statement made today the Ambassador of the European Union to Georgia.

“As the Ambassador of the EU, I have been meeting with all stakeholders, all political parties, civil society organizations, academia, scientists. No one I have met was arguing in favor of not granting Georgia candidate status, everyone I have talked to from the ruling party, from all opposition parties, everyone was very strongly advocating in favor of granting Georgia candidate status.

Probably a bit more could have been done in a year and a half. There is still polarization in the country. In terms of de-oligarchization, there are only future steps. After the visit of Joseph Borrell, clearly there is acceleration and a lot of positive developments including the work of broadcasting law, including memorandums of understanding that was signed with some civil society organizations”, - said Pawel Herczynski.
