The next several months will show the prospects for Georgia's integration into the European Union (EU). This was noted in a press statement by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday, dedicated to Georgia’s National Day.
Blinken believes that receiving the status of a candidate for EU membership was a "historic achievement" for Georgia.
"The next several months will be pivotal in seeing this opportunity become real," he added.
"We urge Georgia’s leaders to take the steps necessary to move Georgia forward in the right direction," Blinken emphasized.
He assured that the US has shown "unwavering commitment to Georgia’s democratic, prosperous future," and has been "among the strongest supporters of Georgia’s sovereignty and integrity."
Also, the Secretary of State reaffirmed "the United States’ firm commitment to helping Georgia build the secure, prosperous European democracy" and noted that “United States will continue to strongly support the aspirations of the Georgian people for a Euro-Atlantic future.”
