"Our thoughts will still be with Georgia today, and our demands for reforms will remain," said the Prime Minister of Sweden, Ulf Kristersson, to journalists in Brussels before the start of the European Council summit.

"As you know, Georgia is very often on the agenda, and the fact that it is not today does not mean a lack of support. Of course, we are concerned, and we have expressed this many times. Our thoughts will still be with Georgia today, and our demands for reforms and the right direction will remain as they were before," said Ulf Kristersson.
