First of all, this is truly a remarkable day for Georgia, said Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, in response to a question about Georgia.

“First of all, this is truly a remarkable day for Georgia, the country has been granted candidate status. Often when we grant or recommend this status, we say there are still a few steps to go.

This is detailed in the recommendations. This is really a huge step for Georgia, and it also emphasizes the impressive and very unequivocal position of the majority of the population of Georgia to become members of the European Union”, - said Ursula von der Leyen.
