“It is unlikely that the European Commission’s report will be positive towards Georgia and will acknowledge the significant progress the country has made,” Georgian Foreign Minister Maka Botchorishvili told journalists.

According to Botchorishvili, recent assessments from the European Union have often been biased and lacking objectivity; this may also be reflected in the upcoming report.

“Recently, we have observed that the European Union has issued fewer objective evaluations of Georgia. The assessments have been predominantly biased. It is unlikely that this report will be favourable towards Georgia or will recognise the substantial progress made,” the minister remarked.

Botchorishvili emphasised that this opinion is founded on the comments and actions taken by the European Union over the past year.

“We can already form an opinion based on the statements made and the steps taken by the European Union throughout the year. However, we should wait for the report itself to see how objectively it reflects Georgia’s achievements, the reforms implemented, and the development that has taken place over the past year, evidenced by various ratings, figures, economic growth, and progress. Let’s see how this will be portrayed in the European Union’s report,” the Foreign Minister concluded.
