Tbilisi, March 3. Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili today confirmed his country’s ‘irreversible race’ towards European Union (EU) membership, exactly one year after the South Caucasus state applied for membership to become a member of the community block. .
“Over the past year, we have intensified our efforts to achieve this goal, which determines the history of Georgia and the current actions of the authorities,” Garibashvili wrote on his Facebook social media account.
According to the Georgian Prime Minister, the fact that the EU-27 granted the country a European perspective last June “has brought us even closer to belonging to the European family as free peoples”.
Garibashvili said that Georgia “has taken all necessary steps for convergence with European legislation and institutional improvement, towards European standards”.
The EU requires Georgia to fulfill 12 conditions to deepen democracy, strengthen institutions and reduce political polarization.
Tbilisi claims to have already implemented almost all the recommendations and hopes to obtain candidate country status by the end of the year. EFE
