The European Council has decided to open accession negotiations with Ukraine & Moldova.
#EUCO granted candidate status to Georgia. And the EU will open negotiations with Bosnia and Herzegovina once the necessary degree of compliance with the membership criteria is reached and has invited the commission to report by March with a view to taking such a decision.
A clear signal of hope for their people and for our continent.
Congratulations, Georgia! The European Commission has released a positive recommendation on granting our country candidate status. This is a clear recognition of the very intensive work done by Georgia on this important path. Together, we have showcased our strength, unity and commitment to European values. Looking forward to the final decision in December. ๐ฌ๐ช๐ค๐ช๐บ

#Russia is mounting an aggressive #disinformation campaign by attempts to misuse Intโl Organizations to promote fakes on biological weapons programs in #Ukraine, as well as in #Georgia.
The two countries ๐บ๐ฆ๐ฌ๐ช have NO biological weapons programs. Period.
#StopRussia
in response to #Russiaโs attempts to spread the groundless claims on biological threats, the UN ๐บ๐ณ on Friday said it had no evidence #Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆ had a biological weapons program.
At the #UNSC yesterdayโs mtg Member States called these claims "a lie". #StandWithUkraine
Holding so-called parliamentary elections in #Abkhazia represents a violation of the norms& principles of international law& is another futile attempt to legitimize the illegal occupation of 2 indivisible regions of๐ฌ๐ช.
