The European Political Community (EPC) met for the second time in its history. This European inter-state forum with unprecedented dimensions brings together 45 countries including Georgia, a small country in the Caucasus.

Salome Zourabichvili sees the EPC as an exercise in discussions between countries that are already in the European Union and those that aspire to be there. "This is a poisoned political gift that the government should have left out," she says of Georgia's candidacy to join the EU. "There is a very large majority of the population who are pro-European"
