Of course, the truth is that we will continue to move strongly towards the EU, we will definitely do that, Georgia will stand firm and apply for official membership in 2024, and of course we will continue to have the strategic patience and strategic readiness to one day become a great EU country. A member of the European family and NATO, "Gharibashvili said.
