The President of Georgia, Salome Zourabichvili, hosted a concluding event for the diplomatic corps and politicians as part of the 'Our Voice for Europe' campaign. During the event, President Zourabichvili presented the signatures collected within the campaign to Pawel Herczynski, the EU ambassador to Georgia.
Ambassadors accredited to Georgia, as well as representatives of the opposition and the former government, attended the event.
"Today we complete the campaign that started on November 8 and aimed to involve the public in this last mobilization that will lead us to December 15. It was important to once again send Georgia's voice to Europe. It was not the voice of the president, nor of any single group, so I thought that I would start, but we would all continue together. We have passed many important stages. It started when we joined the OSCE and it started with Zurab Zhvania's famous speech at the OSCE Council. Our meaningful European path is connected to Zurab Zhvania.
I hope that in two days, we will celebrate again as we did on November 8. We know that this does not end on December 15. After December 15, we will double the commitment to continuing the journey together. There will be many tasks for us to accomplish. If we are internally divided and opposed, we will not achieve anything. I don't like to only talk about depolarization when we have our principles, and one of them is that unity is the strongest. We will not be united in everything; I am sure that now when the election year is starting, there will be many political disputes, sometimes heated discussions. However, there should be unity on this road, which I hope will begin on December 15," Zourabichvili stated.
Zourabichvili conveyed her gratitude to all who have contributed to the campaign and to Georgia's journey towards EU integration.
