In a landmark decision, the European Council has granted Georgia the status of a candidate country, while also initiating accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova, as announced by the President of the European Council on Twitter.

"The European Council has resolved to commence accession talks with Ukraine and Moldova. Furthermore, Georgia has been accorded candidate status.
