U.S. hailed Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations

U.S Undersecretary for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland said the Vilnius summit will represent "a historic moment for Georgia, Ukraine, and Moldova at a U.S. Senate committee on November 14.

"Vilnius summit will be a key step towards their dream of one day being fully integrated into Europe, Nuland said at the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in her remarks, where she was questioned about the progress of countries that have Euro-Atlantic aspirations.

"Those countries have worked very hard to bring their judicial and law enforcement structures closer to the EU standard and to prepare their political systems and their economic and energy markets for greater integration with Europe, she noted.

Nuland singled out Georgia for special praise.

"The Georgians, I would say, have taken a great leap in countering corruption, largely through efforts to do things like put all government contracting on the Internet, those kinds of things that could be done in other Eastern Partnership countries, Nuland explained.
