The current relationship between Georgia and the European Union is not very favorable today, because we believe that the attitude that the leaders of the European bureaucracy have towards our country is unfair, often a double standard - dialogue is one of the most important issues that should be conducted with the European Union, - Mikheil Kavelashvili stated at the briefing held after his meeting with the President of the Republic of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić.
According to him, Georgia is always ready for dialogue with the European Union.
"The history of our countries, diplomatic relations, are 30 years old. It is also significant that this is my first visit as president, which is also commendable. I hope that we should make these relations that we talked about even closer. You mentioned that a commission meeting is planned on trade and economic issues. I am sure that many important issues will be discussed for both countries. We talked about relations in the educational system, relations between young people. We must definitely mention the experience that you and we have accumulated regarding relations with the European Union. Our society and the international community know that the current relations between Georgia and the European Union are not very favorable today, because we believe that the attitude that the leaders of the European bureaucracy have towards our country is unfair, often a double standard. This is not news for our friendly country, Serbia. We are a peaceful country. Not a month passes without Georgia being mentioned in the international ratings in terms of development. This applies to economic issues, transparency, judicial system, etc. We hope that the European bureaucracy will be a fair descendant of the Europe of which we and the Serbian people are a part. Europe is attractive for all countries. Its history provides an opportunity and an idea that there should be a different attitude and our desire to become a member of the European Union is, first of all, based on the just principle, on the values that have been formed in Europe over the centuries. Therefore, we hope that all this will change in this direction and Europe, the European people will regain its fundamental values and will again become a strong and attractive region.
We are always ready to cooperate, dialogue is one of the most important issues that should be held with the European Union, for which we are always ready. We are always ready to be open so that there is more progress between us and European countries,” said Kavelashvili.
