In his first interview after the South Caucasus country hit pause on its EU accession talks, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told Euronews that the ball was in Brussels' court, and that the bloc needed to be more flexible in its approach to new members.
Kobakhidze said Georgia was facing "some significant challenges with the European bureaucracy" but emphasised that he was still "very optimistic" that his country would obtain EU membership by 2030.
