Georgia’s European integration path is clear, which causes “radical opposition’s disappointment as their destabilisation plan has failed”, Gia Volski, an MP from the ruling Georgian Dream party and the Vice Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, said on Sunday.
In his comments to the media, Volski noted the radical opposition’s “anti-state plans” could not be carried out, despite their attempts to hinder the process of obtaining the European Union membership candidate status.
People are the source of government. People made the right decision. Since 2012, the [opposition] United National Movement party has not won any elections, and we [the ruling team] have achieved what we have been striving for so long [EU candidacy]”, he added.
The European Commission recommended the European Council to grant Georgia the EU candidate status on November 8. The Council will make the final decision on the country’s candidacy in December.
Archil Talakvadze, the Georgian Parliament Vice Speaker, on Saturday said the country’s Government, with the support of Georgian society, was able to attain “irreversible progress” on the road to European integration.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili on Friday said it was “unlikely” for any European Union member state not to back the European Commission’s decision to recommend the European Council to grant the country the membership candidate status in December.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili on Friday highlighted France's support for the country’s European Union integration path.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili on Wednesday said his Government was ready to cooperate and “reach a compromise” with the “destructive [domestic] opposition”, “only if it is mutual”, to fulfil the recommendations outlined by the European Union to grant its candidate membership status to the country.
Archil Talakvadze, the Vice Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, on Tuesday said the European Commission had given Georgia “green light” on its application to be granted the European Union candidate status.
