The top Czech diplomat Jan Lipavský stressed European and Euro-Atlantic integration was a “historical choice” of Georgian citizens.
On the backdrop of Russia's [ongoing] aggression against Ukraine, the sustainability and stability of Georgia is of particular importance for the realisation of this choice. The Czech Republic continues to support Georgia's democratic and pro-Western orientation”, he said.
The Slovak Minister Miroslav Wlachovský noted the partnership between the countries and expressed his hope for strengthening the ties.
Tobias Billström, Sweden’s Foreign Minister, highlighted the beginning of the “most significant” stage on Georgia’s path of European integration, related to the recognition of the country’s European perspective last year.
The Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias noted “strong” bilateral relations between the two countries and stressed his country’s Government was “committed” to the European perspective of Georgia and supported its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Ivica Dačić, the top Serbian diplomat, wished the country’s nationals “progress and prosperity”, and noted Georgia could “always count on the support of Serbia in matters important to it”.
The Croatian Minister Gordan Grlić Radman expressed his Government’s “readiness” to promote cooperation on the path of Georgia's accession to the European Union, both in bilateral formats and within the framework of the EU’s Eastern Partnership programme.
“Croatia has always supported Georgia's European choice and will continue to do so in the future”, he stressed.
The Bulgarian Foreign Minister Ivan Kondov said “European and Euro-Atlantic values that unite the citizens of our countries, will add a strong impetus to Georgia's efforts towards full membership in the European Union and NATO”.
