Русская версияGeorgia's President Mikhail Saakashvili has called for
international peacekeepers in the conflict zone around the
country's two breakaway provinces.
But the breakaway regions
Abkhazia and South Ossetia are opposed to an international
peacekeeping force, currently being discussed by the European
Union. Russian forces have retreated from the central Georgian city
Gori, but continue to control access to the important Black Sea
port Poti and other cities in western Georgia and Abkhazia. Moscow
on Friday announced its complete withdrawal from central Georgian
soil outside the disputed breakaway regions, but said forces would
remain in buffer zones around South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
