(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
Georgia has“very good” chances to obtain the status of a
European Union membership candidate state, ruling Georgian Dream
(GD) party Head Irakli Kobakhidze said on Friday, expressing hope
the Union would make the decision soon, Trend reports citing Agenda.ge .
Kobakhidze said multiple institutions would be involved in the
decision-making process, including the European Parliament and
other“executive structures.”
The GD Head also wished success in the process to Ukraine and
Moldova, as the countries had also applied for EU membership.
Our three countries, the so-called [Associated] 'Trio,' have
practically applied [for EU membership] simultaneously. I think the
prospects are very good and hopefully, a positive decision will be
made,' he added.
Kobakhidze pointed out that in order to obtain EU membership,
Georgia would have to follow the Association Agenda between the
country and the Union.
The only prerequisite for obtaining EU membership - and until
then the candidate status - is the Association Agenda, which we are
following closely,” Kobakhidze explained.
Launched in 2021, the Associated Trio format unites Georgia,
Ukraine and Moldova and aims to enhance their cooperation with the
EU.
Georgia officially applied for EU membership on March 3, with
Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili signing the country's membership
application.
