He emphasized that Georgia deserved candidate status for membership because, in his estimation, its state is no worse than that of Ukraine or Moldova, according to EU Helpers.

His ministry made a case for faster EU enlargement in a statement, claiming that doing so would give the EU fresh life and vigor.

He promised that Budapest would assist Georgia in advancing the accession process as swiftly as possible.

Viktor Orban, the prime minister of Hungary, has voiced his support for Georgia's EU membership, arguing that it is also in the continent's best interests.

He asserted that Georgia is the simplest method to connect the EU with the Caucasian regions, which is in the interest of Europe.

Orban made his remarks at a combined meeting of the two countries' cabinets in Telavi. He claimed that the admission of central European nations has preserved the EU's competitiveness and served as evidence that, if Europe continues to turn away those who are eager to work and advance, it will pay a price in the form of diminished competitiveness.

Orban stated that his nation was disappointed and even incensed that other nations with much lower levels of development than Georgia had received candidate member status.

The EU has unfairly treated Georgia by not granting it EU candidate status alongside Ukraine and Moldova, according to Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister of Hungary, who expressed the same opinion in June of this year.

In March 2022, Georgia submitted a request for candidate status along with Moldova, Ukraine, and Moldova. Both of these nations received candidate status from the EU in June 2022, although Moldova did not.

The European Commission produced analytical findings on the compliance of these three nations with the EU acquis in February of this year.

In October, the European Council will assess Georgia's reform program's progress and decide the next stages in the country's admission process.

Josep Borrell, the senior diplomat for the EU, cautioned Tbilisi last month that it needed to carry out significant reforms in order to receive candidate status.

He argued that reforms and commitment to EU ideals are necessary to obtain candidate status and stressed that Georgia still has a significant amount of work to perform in this area.
