Ambassador: Czechia interested in securing EU candidacy status for Georgia

Czechia is interested in securing EU candidacy status for Georgia and for the country to one day become a full member state, the Czech ambassador to the country, Petr Mikyska, has told the Czech News Agency.

He didn’t wish to reveal any more details about how Czechia wishes to achieve this goal, saying that a discussion with Georgia and EU partners is first necessary. He added that Czechia’s position at the head of the EU presidency could help in moderating the debate.

Czechia’s Foregin Minister Jan Lipavský is set to host his Georgian counterpart Ilia Darchiashvili next week.
