The head of the Government also congratulated the fellow Associated Trio countries of Ukraine and Moldova on receiving the membership candidate status.
The European Council on Thursday granted the membership candidate status to Ukraine and Moldova, and said it would be ready to grant the same status to Georgia once the outstanding priorities outlined by the European Commission were addressed by the Georgian Government.
