Georgia’s ruling Georgian Dream party expects to reset relations with the EU from the beginning of 2025 after winning parliamentary elections, as it aims at European integration, Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said.
‘Georgia’s main priority is European integration. We are waiting for a reset of relations. We think it will happen from the beginning of 2025,’ the Prime Minister said at a government session.
He said the task of the country’s authorities is to fulfil more than 90 per cent of the obligations under the association agreement with the EU by 2028 in order to be ready for European integration in 2030.
Georgia’s Central Election Commission completed the counting of votes from all polling stations on Sunday. According to the results of ballot processing, the ruling Georgian Dream won 53.91 per cent of votes. Four opposition parties also made it into parliament with a combined 37.78 per cent. Representatives of the four opposition parties have already said they do not recognise the CEC data. The special co-ordinator of the OSCE short-term mission, Pascal Alizar, noted that the elections in Georgia were well organised, but said that there were a number of violations recorded by observers.
