EU Hails Release of Russian Officers

EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana has welcomed the release of four Russian officers charged with espionage by Georgia.

“I hope normal relations can now be re-established between Russia and Georgia. The European Union stands ready to facilitate contacts between the sides and to support further confidence-building measures,” he said.

Javier Solana phoned President Saakashvili on September 30 and cautioned him ?against the risk of further escalation? because of the spy row.
