Georgia receives empty and even rude statements from the EU in response to a request to hold consultations and discussions on pressing issues, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told journalists, Report informs via Georgian media.

"We constantly ask the European Union to start consultations and discussions on the most pressing issues. However, in response we receive general, empty and even rude statements. Unfortunately, in response to our, I think, European approach, we receive a Soviet approach," he noted.

Kobakhidze said that today's European Parliament is not much different from the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, which "had the same pathos and level of injustice."

"We hope that the attitude towards Georgia will change, and this is necessary not only for us, but also for the European Union. Our goal is reflected in the country's Constitution - to become a member of the European Union by 2030, when we will be more ready for this than other countries," he emphasized.
