“The European Council has decided to recognize the European perspective of Georgia and is ready to grant candidate status as soon as the remaining priorities are resolved,” he wrote on Twitter.
At the same time, the EU summit agreed on the status of candidates for joining the union for Ukraine and Moldova.
On June 22, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, during a speech in parliament, announced Kyiv's request not to grant Tbilisi the status of a candidate for joining the European Union.
According to Garibashvili, his European friends told him about it.
He also said that Tbilisi deserves the status of an EU candidate more than Kyiv.
