We continue to actively work to fulfil all the priorities and commitments made in the Association Agreement. Along with the issue of joining the European Union, we talked about Georgia's medium-term goal, which implies gradual integration into the European Union [and] maximum access to its single market”, he noted.
“This will provide specific benefits to Georgia and its citizens in the short and medium term, and it will actually be possible to enjoy the benefits that EU membership brings”, Darchiashvili added.
