OSCE Chair Visits Georgia

OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Alexander Stubb, who is the Finnish Foreign Minister, will arrive in Tbilisi on August 21.

OSCE has decided to immediately send 20 monitors to the “areas adjacent to South Ossetia.” It was also agreed to increase an overall number of monitors up to 100 in the future, which has yet to be discussed within OSCE.

Stubb, along with the French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, was engaged in the mediation of a ceasefire accord between Tbilisi and Moscow.
