The President of the European Parliament underlined today the importance of preparing for the European Union’s enlargement and extending support to Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova.

“This is the parliamentary diplomacy that will be essential as we defend multilateralism and prepare for enlargement of our EU.

As people look to us in Ukraine, in Moldova, in Georgia, for all those in the Western Balkans who have been denied progress for too long - we must be ready to extend Europe’s hand as they each follow their own paths in a merit-based approach that respects the necessary criteria. We must be ready to face this new world and this new reality. And, together, we will be ready”, - said Roberta Metsola.

As it known, she was reelected President of the European Parliament, winning 562 votes in the first round of voting.
