The United States is enthusiastically celebrating Georgia’s achievement of the EU candidate status, US Ambassador to Georgia said in an address on Facebook.

“I congratulate all Georgians: congratulations! Today is truly a historic day. The United States is enthusiastically celebrating Georgia’s achievement of the EU candidate status.

We also welcome the commitment of the European Union and its member states to the expansion of the family of European countries.

The US celebrates with you that you are Georgians and, therefore, Europeans. We are proud to support Georgia on this path and will continue to do so”, - said Robin Dunigan.
