The Co-Chairs of the Geneva Discussions on Security in South Caucasus will pay a visit to South Ossetia. As the Plenipotentiary for Post-Conflict Settlement Boris Chochiev reported to IA RES, the EU, UN and OSCE Co-Chairs are planning to arrive in South Ossetia on 13 May to prepare the forthcoming round of talks. "The main issue to be raised by the South Ossetian delegation to the Geneva talks is the agreement on non-use of force between South Ossetia and Georgia", said Chochiev.
He stated that the South Ossetian side would request the Geneva Go-Chairs to comment on the recent statement of the Georgian MFA that Georgia was not going to sign any document on non-use of force with South Ossetia and Abkhazia. "The results of the 11th round of talks in Geneva will depend on the Co-Chairs' comments," stated the Plenipotentiary for Post-Conflict Settlement. He underlined that "no one needs formal meetings, and taking into account the current approach of Georgia, we believe that the work of these discussions must be changed". "So far, they had not yielded any results and their purpose is to cover Georgia's policy and the policy of those states which continue to arm Georgia", concluded Boris Chochiev.
