“All genuine results” achieved on Georgia’s European integration path are the “merit” of the current government of the country, prime minister Irakli Garibashvili said on Tuesday at a press conference in Tbilisi with Oliver Varhelyi, the European Union commissioner for neighbourhood and enlargement. 

The head of the government said the EU-Georgia association agreement, free trade and visa-free travel deals, and the recently gained European perspective were the examples of the achievements. 

He said thanks to the progress made in a “short period of time”, Georgia “stands out as one of the leading countries” of the EU’s eastern partnership initiative.
