Category: European Union

Anri Okhanashvili, the Chair of the Georgian Parliament's Legal Affairs Committee, on Wednesday said domestic radical opposition groups that refused to participate in work for Georgia obtaining the European Union membership candidate status had been shown a red card from the European Unions highest tribune.

Okhanashvili was commenting after Josep Borrell, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, said on Tuesday the process of joining the European Union must be based on the consensus of the whole nation and everyone should work together, not only the government but all political parties.

We have heard from the representatives of the European Union that the European perspective for Georgia is a great achievement within the framework of our close cooperation, Okhanashvili noted.

Also, we have heard assessments that both the Parliamentary majority and the entire opposition spectrum bear equal responsibility [in the implementation of EU conditions]. We have heard calls for everyone to be involved in this process, he added.
