Kelly Degnan, the United States ambassador to Georgia, on Wednesday said she hoped Georgia’s political leaders would make sure the ongoing work for meeting conditions for European Union membership candidate status would meet standards of the bloc.
In her remarks, Degnan noted her country would continue to support the “clear will” of the Georgian people to live in a “secure, stable, prosperous democracy”.
I would hope that all of Georgia’s political leaders, including the ruling party and the opposition, would come together now and make sure that the work that is being done for candidate status is going to meet European Union standards”, Degnan told local media.
“That is why we are such strong supporters of the people of Georgia’s aspiration for European Union membership and a Euro-Atlantic future. [...] This is the moment, and I sincerely hope that Georgia’s leaders will accomplish this goal for the people of Georgia”, she concluded.
