Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili declares that EU accession of one country or another is on the table, and that it is a long process. However, Georgia is totally motivated to continue fulfilling every commitment under the Association Agreement.
“During our meeting, we had a detailed conversation on Georgia's EU membership bid, a truly historic step and the Georgian people choice, not just our Government's decision. It is our population's decision. The Prime Minister of Poland, a loyal supporter of our European integration, assured me of Poland's strong support for Georgia on this path.
We fully realize that it is a long path, and we need to implement reforms, prepare the country, develop the economy, and overcome many problems for the country to become an EU member. We also listen to European leaders who say that no fast-track EU accession of one country or another is on the table, and that it is a long process. We are totally motivated to continue fulfilling every commitment under the Association Agreement, a document I personally signed in 2014. Since signing, we have had tangible results on the path toward European integration, such as free trade and visa-free travel benefiting our citizens. Once again, I would like to thank Poland, our loyal friend and staunch supporter of Georgia's European integration, for assistance in this process”, - Garibashvili said.
