Russia Hopes ‘Objective’ Report from EU War Inquiry Mission

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin met with Heidi Tagliavini, the head of the EU-funded mission probing into the August war, in Geneva on July 2, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

“The Russian side expressed hope that the forthcoming report of the mission will be drawn up in as objective as possible form, based on taking into consideration all documents, which were handed over to the mission’s experts. As it is known, Russia took the most active part in this work,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on July 2.

The inquiry mission is expected to present its report to EU, OSCE, Georgia and Russia before July 31, 2009.
