“Georgia’s government remains committed to European Union accession and believes the process goes in a very active way,” Georgia’s First Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, Levan Davitashvili told Euronews.

Speaking to Euronews on the sidelines of the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha on Wednesday, Davitashvili said Tbilisi had already fulfilled 60% of the accession requirements.

Since last year, Georgia’s European Union accession process has completely stalled. However, Levan Davitashvili told Euronews that the government still aims to join the bloc by 2030.

“We have clearly declared that our target is full-fledged membership by 2030. We understand it’s a long process, but we are fully focused to implement this significant reform, and we are still loyal to this reform, and this process goes in a very active way,” he said.

Davitashvili’s comments echo those of Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, who told Euronews in February that his government still considers membership by 2030 achievable.
