Javier SOLANA, EU High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), voiced concern today at the latest developments in Georgia:

“I am concerned about the latest developments in Georgia.

Political differences should be resolved within the democratic institutions.

All sides should therefore resume the dialogue and refrain from actions that contribute to tensions. This is the best way out of the crisis.

I have transmitted this message to President Saakashvili and to the Georgian opposition.

I have asked my Special Representative for the South Caucasus, Peter Semneby, to go to Tbilisi on my behalf and to meet with all sides.”
