This policy memorandum was prepared as a strategic advisory document for the Government of Georgia and examines the country’s pathway toward European Union integration within the context of evolving geopolitical and security challenges. The paper analyzes the diplomatic, economic, and defense dimensions of Georgia’s European and Euro-Atlantic integration process while outlining strategic objectives, implementation mechanisms, and policy recommendations aimed at supporting long-term integration with the European Union. The memorandum argues that integration with the European Union constitutes a fundamental national strategic priority shaping the country’s long-term political orientation, security architecture, and economic development trajectory. Particular emphasis is placed on the implementation of European Commission recommendations, institutional reforms, regional cooperation frameworks, economic resilience, energy security, and defense modernization. The study further evaluates Georgia’s geostrategic role as an emerging East-West connectivity, transit, and energy hub, highlighting the importance of regional infrastructure initiatives, economic diversification, and participation in European energy security mechanisms. In parallel, the memorandum examines the security implications of the Russian Federation’s regional policy, including the occupation of Georgian territories and the broader transformation of the European security environment following the large-scale military aggression against Ukraine. The document was originally developed within the specialized six-month course “Europeanisation of Foreign Policy of Georgia” at Tbilisi State University under the instruction of Kornely Kakachia. Its analytical framework was further shaped through engagement with senior diplomatic representatives, including Paweł Herczyński, Ernst Peter Fischer, and Ulrik Tideström.
