Representatives of the diplomatic corps participated in a meeting organized by EUGBC today. It was also attended by Andrei Kasyanov, representative of Ukraine's Embassy in Georgia, who said that EU expects the candidates to join the sanctions.
"In early March, Ukraine submitted an application to the European Parliament to expedite consideration of Ukraine's application for EU membership. On March 10, applications from Ukraine and Moldova for EU candidate status were considered in Versailles. Participation in sanctions and security measures, will be a very important signal.
We welcome the steps taken by the National Bank of Georgia, which show clear coordination with the EU and the international banking system. I hope that there will be new steps on the part of the Georgian government in this direction," Knirsch said.
