EU Ambassador to Georgia Carl Hartzell declares that he is absolutely confident that Georgia will soon be receiving the second questionnaire, but notes that this process is not a 100 meters sprint, so it’s not about the speed but about the quality of these answers.
“I was very honored to receive the first answers to the first questionnaire from the hands of the prime minister yesterday. I’m also absolutely confident that we will soon be receiving the second questionnaire, which is good at keeping with the set timelines.
I would like to underline the obvious, which is that this process is not a 100 meters sprint, so it’s not about the speed but about the quality of these answers and the objective assessment that the European Commission will be doing about the situation on the ground, as measured around Georgia’s adherence to fundamental EU values, and key economic and other criteria,” he said.
