Zourabichvili: Georgia should take place of Britain in EU

“Georgia must seize the opportunity presented by the U.K.’s departure from the European Union to push its case for integration leading to membership of the bloc,” Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili said

Report informs citing the Georgian press that she spoke in her interview to Bloomberg.

“We are looking at this situation with the determination to get the most out of it,

"We are looking at the current situation with the intention to extract the maximum benefit from it," said the head of state.

According to her, there is a logic that the country that has been steadily moving toward and wanting Europe can’t be treated less than the country that’s steadily moving away from Europe.’’

Meanwhile, Georgia will “continue exploiting whatever might happen with Brexit” to push at the EU’s door at a time when French President Emmanuel Macron is advocating a “Europe of different speeds open to everyone,” Zourabichvili said.
