“During yesterday’s meeting between Swiss President Micheline Calmy-Rey and Georgia’s President Mikheil Saakashvili, it was announced that Russia has asked for time to consider its position on the proposal of Switzerland to act as a third party ensuring the monitoring of the border issues,” Manjgaladze said.
