The EU opened the door for Georgia to receive the candidate status. I hope that Georgia will be able to take this important step at the end of the year. Such a statement made today the French Ambassador to Georgia.

“As everyone in Georgia knows, the European Union opened the door for Georgia to receive the candidate status. I hope that Georgia, the place of which is in the European family, will be able to take this important step at the end of the year.

I have no expectations, I have hope and it is important that all the political forces and civil society of Georgia work for this important goal, because it is a long-term goal and needs united forces in the long term.
