PM: Estonia to continue supporting Georgia in European integration

Estonian Prime Minister Andrus Ansip supports the early beginning of negotiations on free trade between the European Union and Georgia. The Georgian presidential administration told Trend on Friday that Andrus Ansip gave such a statement at an official meeting with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili during the "Eastern Partnership" summit in Warsaw. The Estonian Prime Minister stressed that not only Georgia, but also the EU, are interested in this treaty.

"The already established relations between Georgia and the EU are important for both sides," the Prime Minister said. "It is necessary to develop these relations further. One cannot simply stop."

Ansip said that Estonia supports Georgia's aspirations for European integration. It is willing to share the experience.

"Our support has always been firm," the Prime Minister said. "And in the future we will continue to maintain this firmness."

The Prime Minister added that Estonia is one of Georgia's major supporters of EU membership.
