The Speaker of the Georgian Parliament writes in his social media post that “Georgia is the number one performer among the European Union candidate countries, leading from the rule of law to economic freedom”.

“Georgia is N1 performer among the EU candidate countries, leading from the rule of law to economic freedom.

In addition to vibrant democracy, effectively functioning institutions and solid legal framework, Georgia is quickly catching up with economic indicators - GDP per capita ranks 4th among 9 candidate countries.

If the EU accession process is based on merits, as theory goes, the EU should have launched the accession negotiations by now”, - writes Shalva Papuashvili.
