This is indeed a historic day for Georgia. The European Council has given Georgia a European perspective to become a member of the European Union, - the Prime Minister of Georgia wrote on the social network "Twitter".

The head of the government notes that Georgia is ready to implement all the priorities to get the status of a candidate country soon.

"We are ready to implement all the priorities to get the status of a candidate country soon. Congratulations to Ukraine and Moldova! Thanks to Ms. Ursula and Mr. Charles," the statement said.

It should be noted that the Council of the European Union has granted Moldova and Ukraine candidate status, and the perspective of becoming a candidate to Georgia. As the President of the Council Charles Michel noted, if there is political will and appropriate political background in Georgia, then there will be progress and Georgia will also receive the status of a candidate for membership.

"The Georgian government knows very well about all the necessary steps, They must show the free world that they share the same principles," Michel said.
