The President of Georgia: Our European perspective is on hold for now
Aug 6, 2024
Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili has said that the country's prospects for EU membership fully depend on the results of the parliamentary elections to be held on October 26.
According to Yevropeiska Pravda, the Georgian president made the statement during a press conference, Sova reported.
According to her, Georgia's prospects for EU integration are currently on hold.
"This (EU membership - Ed.) is the task of our whole day and the whole society. It depends entirely on the elections. Everyone is waiting for us. Everything is suspended, but not stopped, frozen, or revised forever. This is a suspension... before the elections, so that everyone can see what the will of the Georgian population is," Zurabishvili said.
She is convinced that Georgia deserves to return to the path of European integration.
"We are a European country. We have come a long way to this point, which gives us the right to demand an accelerated return to our path. It depends on our voters," Zurabishvili summarized.-
As you know, relations between Georgia and the West have deteriorated sharply in recent months, primarily due to the adoption of the controversial law "On Transparency of Foreign Influence" by the Georgian authorities.
