It is noted that the statement to remove Georgia’s accession to the EU from the agenda by 2028 does not correspond to its strategic interests.

In addition, delaying the accession negotiation process will lead to the isolation of the country. Without the support of Western partners, Georgia remains alone with threats that are especially intensified against the background of the processes taking place in the international environment and the security sphere,

The signatories also emphasized that the suspension of the movement to the European Union contradicts the requirements of Article 78 of the Constitution of Georgia, which establishes the course for European integration.
