The international delegation was headed by the EU Special Representative (SR) Pierre Morel. OSCE and UN representatives were also part to the delegation.

Chochiev had pointed to a number of shortcomings in the work of international organizations and stressed that "the Geneva talks took on a populist character, since the achieved agreements are recalled only right before the next round of the talks or close to your visit".

"The Co-Chairmen in Geneva Talks on Security in the Caucasus representing EU, OSCE and UN are taking a pro-Georgian position", stated the Special Representative for Post-Conflict Settlement Boris Chochiev after the meeting with the Geneva Co-Chairmen.
"The Co-Chairmen are non-objective, biased and I would say, pro-Georgian. We do not see any real evaluation of the situation. They do everything to conceal the negative tendencies obvious with Georgia. With doing so, they never express their own viewpoints. In particular, the EUMM observers located in the areas adjacent to South Ossetia are pursuing their goal to conceal all facts of outrage in their area of responsibility. They do not notice 35 illegal checkpoints deployed by the Georgian side, as well as daily provocations taking place there", said Chochiev.

The Independent International Fact-finding mission on South Ossetian-Georgian conflict had published the first conclusions naming the Georgian President Saakashvili as the initiator of the hostilities. According to several media sources, the conclusion was made on the grounds of secret order by the Georgian leader about the start of operation “on restoring constitutional order” in South Ossetia.

The situation around South Ossetia acquires a new coil. Georgia untwists here the introduced mechanism of a puppet government to split the ossetian society. It turns out poorly. But the intensity, nevertheless, grows in the zone of the conflict. For its aggravation all the political beau monde of Georgia is thrown: the deputies, the speaker, the president, the militarized structures are strengthened - on 9 thousand inhabitants of this piece are 3 thousand armed Georgian divisions.

On May, 7th, 2007 the group of military observers from the Russian Federation, North Ossetia-Аlania Republic and Georgia together with the representatives of the Mission of OSCE in the course from 12.00pm till 16:30pm had been held a monitoring of the southwest part of the zone of responsibility of JPKF on the route: Tskhinval - Avnevi - Prisnevi - Velebi - Dzvileti - Kvatetri - Gogeti.
