Tbilisi: Georgia on Thursday officially applied for membership to the European Union, the Black Sea nation’s prime minister said, after the European Parliament backed a similar move by war-torn Ukraine.

“We are applying today for EU membership,” Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said in a statement after signing the application letter. “Georgia is a European state and continues to make a valuable contribution to its protection and development,” he added.
