CoE Secretary General Relieved at Peaceful Outcome in Adjara

Council of Europe Secretary General Walter Schwimmer expressed satisfaction that the crisis in Adjara has been resolved without bloodshed.


In a letter to President Saakashvili the Secretary General commended him and his team for reaching a peaceful solution as advocated by him during his visit to Tbilisi and Batumi earlier this year.


He also underlined his expectation that Georgia, which has been a member of the Council of Europe since 1999, would now be even more ready and willing to work towards fulfilling its commitments to the organization.


In this context, the Secretary General referred, in particular, to the establishment of a legal framework determining the status of Georgia’s autonomous territories and guaranteeing them broad autonomy.


Schwimmer concluded his letter to President Saakashvili by reiterating that the Council of Europe stands ready to support Georgia in this endeavor.
