"EU observer mission denied access to key areas in Georgia
The EU begins is observer mission to Georgia today, says Deutsche Welle, despite Russian protests that the envoys won’t be allowed in any of the so-called buffer zones around South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
The website says the EU had wanted to secure the complete withdrawal of forces from the two troubled regions, but this had been completely ruled out by Moscow.
It quotes French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner, representing the EU under the French presidency. “This is all really very incomplete, as I and everyone else know. But in the first instance it was for us a matter of getting a date for a Russian withdrawal from the parts of Georgia that border with Abkhazia and South Ossetia.”"
