Georgia's involvement with the EU has been reflected in the signing of political agreements, the contribution to the economy, the assurance of security, and institutional development since its independence in the 1990s. As this relationship continues to evolve, it is important to identify what attitudes towards the EU exist and how high the level of awareness about the organization is in general. When considering EU integration, the role of diffuse and specific support is noteworthy, according to which Georgian youth are considered Euro pragmatists. Economic factors are primarily responsible for attitudes towards the EU, which are cited by almost 60% in both cases, which illustrates the importance of a utilitarian model, consequently the EU is seen as a "cost-benefit" model.
