I would also like to congratulate the Georgian government for not allowing Georgia to become a second Ukraine by pursuing a pro-European policy. We very much appreciate the Prime Minister's commitment to this idea, and I am confident that Georgia will be well suited to join the EU by the end of this decade

Addendum

Viktor Orban also noted that the voting in the parliamentary elections was held in accordance with all civilized norms. According to him, he reviewed the reports of Hungarian observers, which were "positive in all aspects.

(The report - ed.) describes free and fair elections, and I would like to congratulate the Prime Minister of Georgia on that. (...) The elections were free and fair, but the dispute will continue in Europe. We have to take it seriously, because it happens. ... When conservative parties win, such disputes always arise. This is European politics - if the liberals win, they say it's democratic, and if the conservatives win, they say it's not

- Orban said.
