The hard work - delivering on the 12 priorities -, is not to please Brussels, but to improve the lives of the Georgian citizens, Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the European Commission, said at the press conference in Tbilisi.
According to him, EU accession is a national task – all actors need to be working together constructively [and] united. Unity is more important than ever.
“The 12 priorities that need to be fulfilled, as set out in the European Commission’s Opinion.
The hard work - delivering on these 12 priorities -, is not to please Brussels. It is not to make happy people in Brussels or the Member States of the European Union. Ultimately, it is to improve the lives of the Georgian citizens, living up to the overwhelming European aspirations of the Georgian people.
I see a lot of European flags on the streets of this city. I know that 80% of Georgian people support [Georgia’s path] to be [a] member of the European Union.
So let me express my appreciation for all those who stand up for a European future for Georgia.
Accession is a national task – all actors need to be working together constructively [and] united. Unity is more important than ever”, he said.
