Saakashvili Meets with U.S. Ambassadors
On August 13 President Saakashvili met with U.S. Ambassador to OSCE Stephan Minikes and U.S. Ambassador to Georgia Richard Miles.
The recent developments in Georgia?s breakaway region of South Ossetia were discussed during the talks.
Both ambassadors expressed their support for a peaceful settlement of the conflict and called on the Georgian, South Ossetian and Russian sides to hold dialogues.
?As soon as I return to Vienna I will raise the issue of increasing the number of OSCE observers in the South Ossetian conflict area. However, the support of all 54 ambassadors of the OSCE member states is necessary for a positive outcome,? Stephan Minikes told reporters after the talks.
Earlier in August the OSCE Permanent Council made a decision over increasing the number of military observers for the OSCE Mission in Georgia from 4 to 6 officers.
