Given its Euro-Atlantic vector, Georgia could be engaged in a continuous process of reform for the next 10, 15 years. Reforms must become our normal state of being in order to bring the country's legal and institutional arrangement, level of economic development, democratization process, and media space as close as possible to the European standard in the coming years.
