It is up to only Georgians to decide how they want to live in the country, on October 26 they will have the opportunity to go, vote and choose their future leaders, EU Ambassador to Georgia Paweł Herczyński told journalists, who visited the "Fair Elections" office, and the Executive Director of ISFED and met with Nino Dolidze and the employees of the organization.
"If the elections are free and fair, they will be competitive, transparent, inclusive and, above all, peaceful. We, the European Union, recognize its results and will work with all the governments that will be formed after the elections," the ambassador noted.
According to him, if Georgia wants to become part of the EU family, it should fully respect the main principles of the EU.
"The main issue is that if Georgia wants to join the European Union, if it wants to become part of the European Union family, we have the conditions for that. We did not create these conditions specifically for Georgia, they are conditions that apply to all countries that want to join the European Union. That is why we need very serious reforms, and it is also necessary that the basic principles on which the European Union is based be fully respected. These principles are widely known: democracy, rule of law, respect for human rights, including the rights of minorities. These are basic principles that are not subject to negotiation. So, if Georgia wants to become a part of the EU family, these principles must be fully respected," the EU ambassador said.
