Georgia Backs Six –point Plan

The meeting of Nicolas Sarkozy and Mikheil Saakashvili has been held. Georgia has approved a six-point plan brokered by French President Nicolas Sarkozy intended to end fighting between the two nations. Mr Sarkozy, whose country holds the EU presidency, held talks in both Moscow and Tbilisi.
Under the plan, both sides would agree not to use force.The plan stops short of specifically addressing the issue of Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The points include Russian agreements to conclude all military operations, return Russian armed forces to the line preceding the beginning of operations and not use force again in Georgia.
In return, Georgia would return its armed forces to their normal and permanent locations. Both sides would provide free access for humanitarian assistance; and international consideration of the issues of South Ossetia and Abkhazia would be undertaken.
The plan will be represented to the EU Council tomorrow.
