He has expressed the EU’s commitment to Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and called on political parties in the country to step up their efforts to deescalate the current political tension.
Michel said that the EU is concerned by the current tension in the country and that unity on major values are crucial.
#COVID changed a lot of things, but it hasn't changed Georgia's strong and stable path to Europe. Both my visit to Brussels last month and @eucopresident's visit to Tbilisi today are strong signs that we continue and will continue to move forward to European integration. ???????????????? pic.twitter.com/Ow0r7NY776
