27 EU member states have decided to enlarge Europe. One of the potential candidates is Georgia, which received a European perspective, which was for it a historic achievement. This was stated by EU Ambassador to Tbilisi Pavel Gerchinsky at the event dedicated to the European Days in the capital of Georgia. «I believe that our European friends and European states will make the only correct political decision this year and grant Georgia and the Georgian people the status of candidate for EU membership», - said Gerczynski.

In turn, Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Garibashvili said that Georgians have always considered themselves part of Europe. They share common values based on identical Christian motives.

Recall that Tbilisi applied for EU membership on March 3, 2022 - simultaneously with Moldova and soon after Ukraine. Later, Ukraine and Moldova were granted candidate status, and Georgia was asked to implement 12 recommendations for further European integration.
