José Manuel Albares Bueno, Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation of Spain, on Monday, said “there is European pattern [for Georgia] that must end within the European family.”

“I had the occasion to meet with my Georgian colleague few weeks ago in Madrid and I conveyed the message that there is European pattern that must end within the European family. It is very clear that there is a place in the European family for them,” he said before the Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels.

Today, Brussels is hosting the Eastern Partnership (EaP) ministerial meeting, which brings together EU foreign ministers and their counterparts from five of the six Eastern Partnership countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova, and Ukraine), under the chairmanship of the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell.

According to the Council of the EU, the discussion will provide an opportunity to reflect on the future of the Eastern Partnership, as well as on the security challenges and consequences of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine for the entire region.
