Slovenia has added Georgia to the list of safe countries of origin, joining the other 13 countries in the EU/Schengen zone to do the same.
Only 20 countries in the EU/Schengen zone have the official ‘safe country’ list, the representative of Georgian Foreign Ministry, Vladimer Konstantinidi said.
The other countries that listed Georgia as a 'safe country' are Bulgaria, France, Lichtenstein, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, Iceland, Luxembourg, Ireland, Estonia, Denmark, the Czech Republic and Cyprus.
Putting Georgia on the safe country list is a demonstration of the country’s political stability, economic development and positive environment for human rights protection and safety.
Following this decision, Georgian asylum-seekers’ applications will be examined in an accelerated mode.
