“Engaging and fruitful discussion on EU’s 9 steps with all parliamentary stakeholders and civil society representatives on a wide range of reforms agenda in parliamentary oversight, electoral process, judiciary, further strengthening institutional capabilities of selected agencies, etc. Georgia is bold on its EU membership road”, Papuashvili said in a social media message on the meeting.
The European Commission recommended the European Council in November to grant Georgia the EU membership candidate status with the conditions that range from efforts to combat disinformation and foreign information manipulation about the EU and its values, to further alignment of the country’s foreign and security policies with the bloc, to reforms in the judiciary, electoral and human rights areas.
