Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili briefly commented on the decision. “Congratulations! The European Council has decided to grant Georgia candidate status for EU membership!” – he wrote on Facebook.

Let us remind you:

• In the European Commission report, which recommended opening negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova under certain conditions, the EU executive body on Georgia supported granting her candidate status – also with conditions.
• In November, Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili began signature campaign under an appeal to the leaders of the European Union countries to grant Georgia the status of a candidate country for accession.
• Earlier it became known that EU leaders supported opening of negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova.
