According to MEPs, Georgia has fulfilled all the visa liberalization requirements of the European Union, therefore it deserves to receive visa-free regime as soon as possible.

"Georgia clearly expresses the European integration and Euro-Atlantic aspirations, a vision held by the various political parties," said Margvelashvili during the debate on the Russian-Georgian relations.
