First of all, this is truly a remarkable day for Georgia, said Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, in response to a question about Georgia.

According to her, this emphasizes the impressive and very unequivocal position of the majority of the population of Georgia to become members of the European Union.

"First of all, this is truly a remarkable day for Georgia, the country has been granted candidate status. Often when we grant or recommend this status, we say there are still a few steps to go. This is detailed in the recommendations. This is really a huge step for Georgia, and it also emphasizes the impressive and very unequivocal position of the majority of the population of Georgia to become members of the European Union", Ursula von der Leyen noted.

For information, the European Commission recommends that Georgia be granted candidate status. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, made the relevant statement at the press conference in Brussels.
