Civil Georgia, Tbilisi / 19 Oct.'10 / 11:54

EU foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, welcomed removal of Russian checkpoint from the village of Perevi just outside breakaway South Ossetia as “a positive development on the ground.”

“I look forward to further progress towards the full implementation of the EU-brokered Six Point Agreement of 12 August 2008 and its Implementing Measures of 8 September 2008,” Ashton said in a statement on October 18.

She said that EU Monitoring Mission in Georgia (EUMM) was in contact with the Russian and Georgian authorities “to ensure that the withdrawal is carried out in an orderly and peaceful manner.”

“I call on all parties to make real efforts towards further normalisation on the ground and to continue engaging in dialogue as the only means to address the consequences of the conflict, including the humanitarian situation," Ashton said.
