One of the main reasons for the November 28 statement was to end the blackmail - no one was interested in accepting any country into the EU, the only reason they were interested in this topic was blackmail, and we did not give these people the opportunity to blackmail us, - Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated when responding to media reports that Georgia has not been invited to the EU Enlargement Ministerial.

According to him, no invitation is interesting if all this is used as a tool for blackmail.

"One of the main reasons for the November 28 statement was that the blackmail would end and they would no longer blackmail us. This also calmed down our country, because they wanted to blackmail us once every three months, sometimes they didn't give us, sometimes they didn't invite us, this blackmail has ended. No one was interested in accepting any country into the European Union, the only reason they were interested in this topic was blackmail, and we did not give these people the opportunity to blackmail us. No invitation is interesting if all this is used as a tool for blackmail. We are not interested in their blackmail. As soon as the European bureaucracy comes out of these Soviet approaches, everything will immediately recover," Kobakhidze said.
