"Today, one year has passed since the historic day of Georgia's official application for EU membership.
On March 3, 2022, I had the special honor to sign a document that embodies the dream of many generations of Georgians, the centuries-old aspiration of our people.
On this day, a new page of our history was turned; Very soon, the recognition of the European perspective of Georgia by the Council of the European Union brought us even closer to the membership of the European family of free nations.
In the past year, we have intensified our efforts to achieve the goal that defines our entire history and, naturally, the activities of our Government; We have taken all steps to get closer to the European way of life and standards, institutional arrangements and legislation, to fulfill our obligations.
In this process, we always feel the support of our people, which is the strongest motivation for the daily activities of the Government and our political team as a whole.
We are grateful to our European friends, partner country governments and people who are standing by our side to make this goal a reality.
EU enlargement is a merit-based process, and that is what gives us the most hope. Georgia, a European country with all its history, culture, values, an organic part of Western civilization and a co-creator of its great culture, undoubtedly deserves fair recognition with its present day, large-scale reforms, pace of development and quality. I deeply believe that the historical process, which became irreversible a year ago, will soon result in Georgia's full membership in the European Union," the Prime Minister said.
