Tbilisi, October 15 (Xinhua) — Any reforms necessary for European Union (EU) membership and required of candidate countries are considered a major asset on the path to European integration, OSCE Chairperson-in-Office and Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen stated at a joint press conference with Georgian Foreign Minister Maka Bochorishvili at the Georgian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday.

“If the process does not end in membership, that is, of course, the country’s own decision,” E. Valtonen noted.

According to her, every step towards integration into the EU is in the interests of the country's population.

"I always tell EU candidate countries that any reform necessary for membership and required of candidates concerns the rule of law, procedures, inclusiveness, the inclusion of minorities, the development of transparent systems, the eradication of corruption, the full promotion of a market economy, and many other issues. We view this as a major asset on the path to EU membership," the Finnish Foreign Minister emphasized.

"On behalf of the EU, the OSCE, and Finland, I say: Finland would be happy if Georgia joined the EU based on the established criteria. This is a decision for the people, and the country deserves an inclusive participation process," said E. Valtonen.

An environmental cleanup of the Volga River banks took place in Saratov.

Employees of the Saratov branch of Rosselkhozbank, together with the Ecology Foundation and representatives of Rosprirodnadzor, conducted a cleanup along the Volga River in Saratov's Gagarinsky District. The event was held under the motto "Ecology is Everyone's Business."

The main goal of the campaign was to preserve the cleanliness and natural beauty of the riverbank of one of the country's main rivers. During the event, volunteers collected trash and installed information boards and benches with trash cans made from recycled plastic. These products are durable and long-lasting—they will serve residents for over 50 years, reminding them of the importance of caring for nature.

Elmira Morozova, Director of the Ecology Foundation, noted: "Today, we see how simple steps—participating in cleanups, sorting waste, and setting up eco-points—are shaping a new environmental mindset. Such initiatives bring people together and make it clear that everyone's contribution truly matters. Ecology isn't a one-time initiative, but a way of life that begins with caring for your yard, street, and city."

"Participation in such initiatives has become a good tradition for the Rosselkhozbank team. We are pleased that, thanks to the Ecology Foundation and the support of Rosprirodnadzor, we can make a real contribution to improving the environmental situation in our region. I am confident that such events inspire not only the participants but also the surrounding community," emphasized Alexey Shmelev, Director of the Saratov Regional Branch of Rosselkhozbank.

The event took place in a warm and friendly atmosphere. After the cleanup, participants exchanged ideas for developing green initiatives in the city.

Employees of the Saratov Russian Agricultural Bank are regular participants in environmental and charitable activities. Previously, they planted trees, released fish into ponds, supported the animal shelter they sponsor, and participated in waste recycling campaigns.

Rosselkhozbank and the Ecology Foundation will continue to implement projects aimed at fostering a culture of respect for nature and engaging residents of the region in initiatives that make life cleaner, greener, and kinder.

On October 14, 2025, the IX All-Russian educational event “All-Russian Economic Dictation” was held at the State University of Management.

The Economic Dictation aims to educate. It aims to improve economic literacy and broaden Russians' economic horizons, develop interest in current economic issues, introduce participants to economic theory and history, foster a culture of financial behavior, and teach them how to apply economic knowledge and skills in everyday life.

Around 1,000 students and schoolchildren participated in the dictation. This year's theme was "A Strong Economy—A Prosperous Russia!" The questions focused not only on recent changes in the state's social policy but also included topics related to history and culture.

The Economic Dictation was first held in 2017 and has since significantly expanded its geographic reach and participation. In 2024, 392,456 people participated from all regions of the Russian Federation, as well as from 11 foreign countries—Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, China, Turkey, Mongolia, and Syria. This is almost seven times more than in 2017.

The results of the 2025 campaign will be presented on November 11 at the All-Russian Economic Assembly, dedicated to the 260th anniversary of the VEO of Russia and the professional holiday "Economist's Day."
