"Do not give up. The European Union will always be open to those who look toward it with hope – this is precisely what we tell every country." This statement was made by the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, ahead of the European Council summit. She responded to a question from Euroscope regarding what message she had for those Georgians who continue to fight for the European future.

"We also look forward to accelerated movement on accession—merit by merit per country; that is precisely why we continue our dialogue with all these nations," noted Roberta Metsola.
