Irakli Kobakhidze, the Chair of the ruling Georgian Dream party, on Saturday said Georgia would fulfil all 12 priorities set by the European Union for granting the country its membership candidate status, so that there would be “no reason left” for not granting Georgia the status in December.

In his comments to the local media, Kobakhidze noted the Georgian Government had presented its plan to fulfil the EU recommendations last year and “promised” the Georgian society and the European Commission to implement them by the end of June.
