Slovakia ratifies EU-Georgia Association Agreement

Slovakia is the fifth European country to ratify the Georgia-European Union (EU) Association Agreement (AA).

At a Parliamentary session on Wednesday, the vast majority of members of the National Council of the Slovak Republic voted to ratify the AA with Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova, stated the press centre of Georgia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The decision was adopted unanimously, by 117 votes.

Intrastate ratification procedures will be completed immediately after the President of the Slovak Republic signs the Agreement.

The AA deals were signed by Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova and EU representatives in Brussels on June 27.

EU association deals need to be ratified by all 28 EU member countries before they can be fully implemented.
