PM: Georgia ready to meet all conditions" set by EU

The Georgian Government is "mobilised to meet all conditions" set by the European Union for granting member candidate status to Georgia in a timely manner, in order to obtain the status on time, Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said at a briefing at the Government Administration on Friday.

"[W]e heard the assessments, promises and statements made by the European leaders that as soon as we deliver on the priorities defined by them, we will be granted a candidacy status. Of course, it gives us an additional incentive to deliver all those conditions, all those priorities, that were defined by the EU in the most efficient manner. We stand ready for this", the PM said.

Garibashvili emphasised his Government had “additional motivation” to fulfil the conditions set by the EU "in the shortest possible time", adding the European perspective had been granted to Georgia “deservedly“, and Europe had “opened the door” to the country.
