Mogherini Calls Co-Op Between Georgia & EU a Success Story

Federica Mogherini, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, stated that cooperation between Georgia and the EU is a success story.

She made the statement ahead of the EU foreign Ministerial, which, according to Mogherini, will discuss cooperation with the Eastern Partnership member states and preparations for the 10th anniversary of the program.

“We have a significant partnership and cooperation with Georgia. We had the opportunity to talk about this in Brussels when we met with members of the Georgian government. The partnership between Georgia and the EU is undoubtedly a success story that will continue in the future,” she said.

The Council will exchange views on the Eastern Partnership (EaP) ahead of the EaP ministerial meeting to be held in Brussels on May 13.

The Foreign Ministers will discuss the future of the EaP and review the implementation of the EaP's 20 deliverables for 2020

The Eastern Partnership is a joint initiative of the European External Action Service of the European Union together with EU, its Member States, and six Eastern European Partners governing its relationship with the post-Soviet states of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine.
