The Speaker of the Georgian Parliament declared that joining the EU following the Ukrainian or Moldovan model is unacceptable

Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, stated that Georgia's territorial integrity is inviolable and will not be subject to negotiation for EU membership. He criticized the "Ukrainian and Moldovan-style" approaches to European integration, calling them alien to Georgia.

Papuashvili cited statements by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who, according to him, allows for territorial concessions for Ukraine to gain future EU membership, and by the President of Moldova, who allegedly proposes the dissolution of the Moldovan state for the sake of unification with Romania.

The "Georgian path" to European integration, according to the Speaker, is sovereign and does not entail such sacrifices, which, as he put it, European institutions and their "satellites" in Georgia should remember.

According to open sources, Friedrich Merz stated: "At some point, Ukraine will sign a ceasefire agreement... Then it may turn out that part of Ukraine's territory will no longer be a ceasefire. Ukraine will need to explain to society the possible concessions in the context of its path to the EU."

The statement that Moldovan President Maia Sandu allegedly proposed "the abolition of the Moldovan state and its transformation into part of Romania" contradicts her official statements. The politician asserted that Moldova is a sovereign and independent state, and that EU accession is only possible under these conditions, and that European integration does not mean unification with Romania.

As a reminder, in November 2024, the Georgian government suspended discussions with Brussels on EU accession until 2028.
