I am grateful to you that in these extremely difficult years for Europe, we have maintained unity and made Europe stronger. The world saw European efficiency, saw our ability to find the right solution at the right time. The EU has approved the negotiation framework for Ukraine and negotiations on our country's accession have already begun. This is Europe's historic choice. I am convinced that every European nation that shares common European values should be part of the European family. This applies to Ukraine, Moldova, and the peoples of the Balkan countries. There will come a time for Georgia, and I am convinced that there will be solutions for Belarus as well, because it is also a European nation that should be part of a united Europe
