European Commissioner for Neighborhood and Enlargement Olivér Várhelyi today handed over the membership questionnaire to Georgian Foreign Minister Ilia Darchiashvili in Luxembourg City.

“By receiving the questionnaire, we have made another major step forward on the path of our people’s national choice, European integration!” FM Darchiashvili said on Twitter. “Georgia will spare no efforts to timely fill in the document and proceed to the next stages!”

“This is the first step on your European path,” Commissioner Várhelyi told the Georgian diplomat on his part, adding “we are ready to work with you very fast to deliver the opinion to the European Council as requested.”

Following the development, Georgia now has a month’s time to fill out the document.
