Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, currently in China, commented on the report on European Union enlargement. He stated that the injustice and distortion of facts by European bureaucracy have led to a gradual decline in Georgia's trust in the European Union and the EU as a whole.
The politician expressed hope that the situation in the EU will change and that "fairness will become the principle guiding representatives of the European bureaucracy in the future," but added that "this is not the case today, and the published report is the best confirmation of this."
"Similarly, when it comes to sanctions imposed against Russia and the concerns expressed by Ukraine regarding this, we do not mention Ukraine's alarming position regarding Moldova or other candidate countries that also did not join the sanctions. All this signifies double standards, injustice, and serious problems within the European bureaucracy."
"I'll reiterate that we have different expectations about how all this will ever change. We want to become a member of the European Union by 2030, and I hope that the situation in the EU will have changed dramatically by then. Today, the functioning of the European bureaucracy has sunk to the level of Soviet standards, which is very unfortunate and sad," Kobakhidze concluded.
On November 4, the European Union's 2025 enlargement report was presented. The authors of the document expressed "serious concern about the sharp deterioration of the situation in Georgia." European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos, presenting the report, noted that "Georgia's candidate status is now only a name."
