Ruling party head highlights Hungarian Government’s support for Georgia’s European integration

Irakli Kobakhidze, the Chair of the ruling Georgian Dream party, on Tuesday highlighted the Hungarian Government’s support for Georgia’s European integration.

Kobakhidze noted Budapest would “definitely” support the granting of the European Union membership candidate status to Georgia as its “firm stance”.

“They have a different position regarding Ukraine, but this will not be reflected on their position regarding Georgia, [or] Moldova and Bosnia”, he said. 

Last year too, all three countries were in one basket, the candidate status of all three countries was considered in one basket, but Ukraine and Moldova were given the candidate status, Georgia was not”, the party official continued. 

The ruling party head added Hungary's position was that “under no circumstances” should all countries be considered for membership in a unified approach.
