14:20You say they have made a lot of progress, but you also point out, too,

14:24the idea of rule of law and corruption needs to be tackled further.

14:27As you can see, the government, President Zelensky, he spoke with us,

14:30he said, I haven't fully seen it, but I'm not sure I fully agree with that description.

14:34What did you mean by that?

14:36You interpret it as very negative. Is it that negative?

14:39No, not at all.

14:40But, you know, the report for Ukraine and any other country is more than 100 pages.

14:45And some people have read just a few lines.

14:47And it is really good to see the whole report.

14:51And for Ukraine, it is clearly a huge development, a huge progress.

14:58But there are some points, and this is nearly for every candidate country.

15:02Just to remind you, why are we doing this enlargement reports?

15:06It is, we do this to point out what is running well and to see where we need some improvements.

15:14And one of the areas where we see the danger in Ukraine is, and we have experienced this on July 22nd,

15:24where actually law has been adopted, which was making their two main anti-corruption agency less independent.

15:35And this is not good.

15:36You know, it is very, very important that the country, not just Ukraine,

15:40is having independent anti-corruption institutions.

15:43And this was a clear backsliding.

15:47And this shouldn't be the case.

15:49The law has been repaired, not yet to 100%, so we are still working on this.

15:55And this is why we have put this into the report.

15:58And saying all of this, you still say the European Union is going to be stronger with them inside?

16:04Yes, once they will join, but they will not be able to join unless they will be prepared.

16:08So this is a circle we have to follow.

16:10Just very quickly, Georgia, the language that you have used is, at least to my knowledge,

16:16the most severe I have ever seen in a report like this.

16:18If I understand what you say, where you talk about massive and very serious backsliding on everything,

16:24you talk about authorities that no longer seem to be interested in this process.

16:28If I read that, the way that I would interpret it is, this is the end of the road.

16:33But at the same time, there is a people, and we all know this,

16:36who are prepared to do almost anything to now join the European Union.

16:41How do you bridge this gap?

16:42You are right.

16:43This is the worst enlargement report for any candidate country ever, but rightly so.

16:50So what their government is doing and lying to their people,

16:54they are saying that they are bringing Georgia closer to the EU.

16:58They are bringing Georgia away from the EU.

17:02So it is a clear backsliding on many, many areas, especially on the fundamentals,

17:09the rule of law, anti-corruption, media freedom.

17:13You know, the government, what is the government doing?

17:17The government is not following the interests of their own people.

17:23Because they say they want in very clearly.

17:26Is there a way to bridge this gap?

17:28You know, that's why the only option is that the government of Georgia will revise many, many laws

17:38who are clearly anti-European.

17:42They should stop putting their political opponents or journalists in jail.

17:48They really should start not oppressing any more the organizations of civil society.

17:54You know, we have difficulties to support them because as long as they're here,

18:02we would love to support them.

18:04They're in the danger that they will be put in jail.

18:06So, yes, it is clearly Georgia still a candidate country, but for the commission only on the paper.

18:14And we will do everything to support media and especially civil society organizations.

18:20And just lastly, by 2030, the end of this mandate, what does the European Union look like?

18:24Is it 29? Is it 30? Who's in it?

18:27Oh, I don't know. I can't see in the stars, but I will work endlessly and tirelessly on this project

18:36in which I really believe.

18:39For the first time after many years, the prospects of the enlargement are there.

18:44how many countries it will be, it is not that much important.

18:48The important is that actually we will get stronger, as you have said,

18:54and that we will make our union of values and democracy bigger.

19:01And I will close with this, if I may.

19:04You know, in the past, the European Union has always been capable to include the countries

19:09which have been, for instance, Portugal, Spain, Greece.

19:16We included them into the EU after the end of the dictatorships.

19:21After the Berlin Wall fell, we have been able to include for the first time countries from the Eastern Europe.

19:28Europe. And now we are again in this historical moment.

19:33So I am positive there will be some new members.

19:36How many? Let's meet in 2030. No, 2029, because my mandate ended in 2029.

19:43So we have to meet before December the 1st, 29.

19:46Then we can talk about the numbers.

19:48We'll invite you again into it.

19:49Commissioner Kost, thank you so much for this important conversation in Euronews.

19:52Thank you very much.

19:53Thank you.

19:54Thank you.

19:58Thank you.
