Русская версияGeorgia and Russia have agreed to a modified peace plan brokered by
French President Nicolas Sarkozy ending six days of fighting.
Earlier Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and French President
Sarkozy agreed on principles aimed at finding a peaceful solution
to five days of conflict in the Caucasus.
This included a
ceasefire, a pledge to renounce force, free passage for
humanitarian aid and the withdrawal of troops to their bases.
Speaking a joint press conference in the Georgian capital Tblisi,
Saakashvili said there were still some sticking points remain,
including Russian peacekeepers in Georgia's breakaway provinces of
South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Meanwhile in Brussels, NATO renewed its
pledge to accept Georgia as a full member of the western military
alliance.
