Georgian Foreign Minister Ilia Darchiashvili on Monday met Věra Jourová, the Vice President for Values and Transparency at the European Commission, to discuss cooperation and “ongoing important matters”, the Ministry said.
The meeting was held on the sidelines of Darchiashvili’s visit to Brussels, where he is taking part in an informal meeting of the General Affairs Council to mark the 20th anniversary of 2004 EU enlargement.
The body added the meeting highlighted the “historic decision” by the European Council granting the country the membership candidate status last year as a response to the “civilisational choice” of Georgian citizens and the Government’s efforts for becoming an “integral part of the European family”.
Darchiashvili emphasised ongoing reforms in Georgia aimed at bringing the country closer to EU standards, as well as the implementation of the nine conditions set out by the European Commission in November for opening accession talks.
