Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili on Wednesday told Czech President Petr Pavel his country “deserved” the European Union membership candidate status, and added obtaining the status later this year could further contribute to a “stable” development of Georgia. 

The meeting, held on the sidelines of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, also discussed the Georgian Government's work to meet the conditions outlined by the bloc last year for granting Tbilisi the status, the Georgian Government press office said.
