The French presidency of the European Union expressed "grave concern" at the upsurging tension in South Ossetia, Georgia over the weekend. "We deplore the loss of lives and numerous injuries caused by recent incidents, in circumstances that the local OSCE mission is seeking to clarify," it said in a statement. The presidency reiterated its full support for the OSCE mediating mission based in South Ossetia, urging the parties concerned to cooperate in full with the OSCE.
"The European Union is willing, more than ever, to fully engage in the pursuit of a peaceful settlement of the conflicts in Georgia, in cooperation with the parties concerned and in support of the existing negotiation formats, and again calls for moderation and the swift resumption of the negotiations," it concluded.
