Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Thursday vowed his support for Georgia’s European Union membership candidate status, ahead of the European Council’s anticipated decision on Friday.
Orbán told the media the country’s candidacy bid had been “decided”, and further added “everyone here loves Georgia”.
"Georgia is ok. It is done. Because everybody loves you,” the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated ahead of the EU Summit in Brussels.
The European Council will meet in Brussels on December 14-15 to discuss the enlargement package, which involves ten countries. Among the key considerations are granting Georgia the status of a candidate for EU membership, initiating membership negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova, and the EU perspective of the Western Balkans.
