Răzvan Rotundu, the Romanian Ambassador to Georgia, on Tuesday said the country had made progress in its efforts to receive the European Union membership candidate status, while adding issues remained to be resolved.

In his remarks, Rotundu noted the granting of the candidate status was ultimately up to the 27 member states of the bloc.

“The granting of the status is a collective decision that will be taken by the 27 member states after seeing the Commission's report on the implementation of the 12 recommendations”, Rotundu said.

At the moment, we are in dialogue with representatives of the Georgian public. We see progress, we also see that there are a number of issues to be resolved, this is a work in progress at the moment”, he concluded.
