Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili responded to the decision of the European Commission to grant Georgia the European Union membership candidate status in Twitter.
"I rejoice with the people of Georgia and welcome the positive recommendation of the EU Commission to grant Georgia the Candidate status. As President, I will continue more than ever to play my role as a pro European leader to facilitate and push the still needed reforms", - Zourabichvili posted.
The European Commission (EC) will recommend the European Council to grant candidate status to Georgia, said Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, at the briefing jointly held with Olivér Várhelyi, European Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement.
The European Council will make the final decision in December.
