Georgia wants OSCE mission return

Georgia raises the issue of returning the OSCE mission to the country. Talks with the Lithuanian President will be held in this sphere, Georgian Foreign Minister Grigol Vashadze told journalists before a meeting of the Georgian and Lithuanian presidents.

“It is important for Georgia to address this issue, and Lithuania, as the OSCE president, can play important role in addressing this problem,” he said.

Because of Russia’s position, the OSCE mission was withdrawn from Georgia two years ago after the armed clashes in Tskhinvali.
