The head of the EU office in Georgia, Janos Herman, said he cannot name the exact date for visa liberalization.
He recalled that the European Commission issued a report on December 18, which states that Georgia has fulfilled all the points of the Visa Liberalization Action Plan. Based on this, the European Commission has recently submitted a relevant legislative proposal to the European Parliament and the Council. "So a new phase has started in the process. Now everything depends on the Council and the Parliament. You understand that I cannot name any specific date in this regard," Georgia Online cited him as saying.
"We have heard several statements with regard to visa liberalization recently. Let me mention Malmström’s visit a week ago, when she talked about visa liberalization. You also mentioned Joseph Daul’s words. I also heard that the Chairman of the European Parliament's Legal Affairs Committee made a statement about the issue. I think all of these statements are important," the diplomat added.
