According to European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, the EP has always welcomed any country that looks to Europe as its home.

In response to the question - "what is your personal message to Georgian people, as we're waiting in June, for a political decision to receive candidate status of this organisation" - Roberta Metsola stated that the EP was the institution to welcome the application from Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova.

"We understand the difficulties, and the challenges, and the threats that those countries are under. In fact, we have invited President Maia Sandu to address the European Parliament in a forthcoming plenary session, and she has accepted that invitation. And we are also in constant contact with our Georgian partners and also representatives of the Georgian parliament in order to make sure that when that step happens, that you mentioned, we are ready to make our commitment and this parliament has never shied away from it," Metsola stated.
