For us, the enlargement of the European Union is an existential issue. It is not a question of procedure, or a matter of approval or disapproval. There is no choice. Enlargement is also an existential issue for the European Union, – the President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, said at the panel held within the Munich international conference, “A Deeper, Wider and More Capable European Union”.
“If we look at the global picture, we will see that Russia not only invaded Ukraine, threatens our countries with a cyber attack, hybrid war, but also wants to enter a satellite war, which will threaten the communication and logistics of our countries. We have to do more internally, and I’m talking about Georgia, to accelerate reforms, but nothing will change the fact that we all together have no alternative but to stand together, to be united, to be more democratic, and to confront together the alliance of autocracy that nurtures terrorism, cyber-attacks – all threats that come from one direction”, President Zurabishvili said.
