Ursula Von der Leyen says it depends on Georgia to make reforms to advance towards European Union
The President of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, in her speech at the ambassadorial held in Brussels, talked about the European future of Georgia:
"We have recognized the European perspective of Georgia, of course, it depends on the candidate countries to reform their economies and institutions and to advance towards our union", said Von der Leyen.
"Ukraine and Moldova are now candidates for joining our Union. We also recognized the European perspective of Georgia. The winds of change have once again blown across Europe, just as they did in the 1970s when Spain, Portugal and Greece opted for democracy or when freedom fighters tore down the Berlin Wall. Of course, it is up to the candidate countries to reform their economies and institutions and move towards our union, but it is our responsibility to support them in every way possible. This is Europe's moment. It is up to us to use this moment," she said.
According to Ursula Von der Leyen, both the EU and its neighboring countries face shared challenges, such as Russian aggression, energy insecurity, climate change and threats to open societies. According to her, the European Union should work together with all partners, including those who do not want to join the Union.
