Russia opposes separate EU mission in Georgia: ministry
(MOSCOW) - Russia on Monday rejected calls for deployment of an EU observer mission in Georgia, saying it would only result in "superfluous fragmentation" of international teams already there.
"We think this will result in superfluous fragmentation of international monitoring forces that are already being carried out by the UN and the OSCE," foreign ministry spokesman Andrei Nesterenko said at a briefing.
