The EU Ambassador to Georgia, Paweł Herczyński, congratulates Georgia on Independence Day.
“Today, I congratulate all the citizens of Georgia on Independence Day. You have every reason to be proud of preserving the centuries-old legacy of the first democratic republic while building an independent state for the past 34 years.
Over these years, the European Union has always stood by Georgia’s side. We have been providing vital assistance, supporting democratic reforms, opening access to European markets and enabling visa-free travel for Georgian citizens.
Yet day also serves as a powerful reminder – independence and democracy must never be taken for granted. The European Union remains firmly committed to Georgia – in solidarity, in partnership and in a shared belief in a democratic European future. We are proud to be friends of Georgia. Happy Independence Day. Gilocavt Damoukideblobis dges! Tsin Sakartvelo, tsin!” the Ambassador stated in his video address.
