The EU may consider admitting Georgia and Moldova without occupied territories

The official representative of the European Union's foreign policy service, Peter Stano, said that Georgia and Moldova could be admitted to the European Union contrary to the rules. The European future of these countries cannot be held hostage by conflicts, the politician said.

He recalled that South Ossetia and Abkhazia are occupied by Georgia, and Transnistria by Moldova. According to EU rules, any applicants should not have territorial conflicts or claims. However, in these cases, the Russian occupation can be ignored and not be a stumbling block for Georgia and Moldova.
