French Ambassador to Georgia, Diego Colas believes that new opportunities have arisen for even closer relations between Georgia and the European Union.
„I believe that new opportunities arise for an even closer relations between Georgia and the European Union. President Macron has been explicit in his willingness to see the process that has been started by the accession candidacies of Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova advance. We will see how the Commission proposes to move forward. This is a great opportunity, and it is important for Georgians of all political persuasions to unite to seize these opportunities.
And so my message is twofold: first, now is really no time for infighting. Second, it is time to move forward as much as possible on all issues that would strengthen Georgia’s democratic institutions and thereby convincingly show that the country is ready to assume the rights and obligations of a future Member State“, - Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the French Republic to Georgia, Diego Colas, said in an exclusive comment with Europe Time.
The European Parliament has adopted a joint resolution initiated by five political groups of the European Parliament on violations of media freedom and the safety of journalists in Georgia. The resolution was supported by 308 MEPs, while 218 opposed.
With this resolution, the European Parliament calls on the EU institutions to work on granting Georgia the status of a candidate member of the EU. However, on the condition that the Georgian government follows the recommendations of the European Parliament.
