We all want one thing, to return Georgia to the European path, and it will take effort, - the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, said at the press conference after the meeting of the EU foreign ministers.

He spoke about the elections held in Georgia, which, according to his own assessment, confirmed Georgia's democratic decline. According to Boreli, the European Union will send a mission to the country, because the elections must be investigated, and the government must implement decisive changes with concrete actions.

The highest representative of the European Union states that without strong changes, Georgia will not be able to advance in its relations with the European Union and will not be able to move forward on the European road.

"Last month's parliamentary elections confirmed the country's democratic decline under the current government. The leaders of "Georgian Dream" have separated the country from the path of the European Union, they are against the aspirations of the Georgian people to keep the country on the path of the European Union. We all want one thing, to return Georgia to the European path, and it will take effort. We will send a mission to Georgia, we will discuss the violations and the elections should be investigated, and the government should implement decisive changes with concrete actions. "Georgia will not be able to advance in its relations with the European Union without strong changes and will not be able to move forward on the European road," said Josep Borrell.

According to him, he will invite the head of OSCE/ODIHR observation mission to the elections in Georgia so that he can present his assessments of violations to the member states.

"To the Georgian people, I would like to repeat what I said last year during my visit to Georgia: the EU door will remain open for Georgia, but the course of the Georgian government when it comes to respect for the rule of law and fundamental principles, including the way the elections were conducted, takes Georgia away from the path of EU integration", - noted Josep Borrell.
