Foreign Minister Stubb meets Georgian Minister Tkelashvili to discuss situation in Georgia
Minister Stubb, who met with Georgian Minister Tkeshelashvili on 30 May, expressed his concern that the existing negotiating format in the South Ossetian conflict has not led to resolution of the conflict. “It's time to explore possibilities for a new negotiating format”, Stubb stated. In his view, the time is favourable for review of the frozen conflicts. The new Government in Russia, the elections in Georgia, and the EU and OSCE activities, among others, contribute to a positive atmosphere.
