Georgia's progress in implementing the European Union recommendations for the membership candidate status was discussed on Thursday in a meeting between the Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili and Bjørn Berge, the Deputy Secretary General of the Council of Europe. 

 

Papuashvili extended his gratitude to the Council for its “long-term” support of the country in “various directions”, the Parliament said. 


He also focused on the latest consolidated report of the Secretary General of the CoE, which for the first time recognised the Russian occupation of Georgian regions using the term “occupation line”.

 

Berge emphasised the “fruitful” cooperation between the Council of Europe and Georgia and “positively” assessed the latter's chairing of the Committee of Ministers of the body, which he said had les to human rights and environmental protection being determined as priority matters on its agenda.
