The EU High Representative Josep Borrell responds to the decision of the European Council to grant Georgia EU candidate status on the social network.

“Today, we take a historic step towards a stronger European family by opening negotiation with Ukraine and Moldova, granting candidate status to Georgia and opening negotiations with Bosnia and Herzegovina once the necessary degree of compliance with membership criteria is reached.

The decision by EUCO is a testament to our partners’ commitment and dedication to our common values and EU reforms. This is a significant step towards a united, prosperous and stable Europe. Let’s build a stronger future together!”, - tweeted Josep Borrell.
