Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Hylton (Crossbench). It was answered on Tuesday, 14 October 2008.
Russia and Georgia
- Question
- My Lords, I thank the Minister for his reply. Has he dealt with the possibility of a grey area to the east of South Ossetia and is there an obligation on Russia and Georgia to withdraw to the positions which they occupied on 7 August? Finally, will the Government do their level best to ensure that there is the fullest co-ordination between the various observer and peacekeeping groups which are under UN, EU and OSCE mandates?
- Answer
-
My Lords, the noble Lord is right to raise that last issue. Co-ordination among the EU, OSCE and UN missions is crucial to avoid duplication or mishaps. We have spoken to all parties to emphasise the particular importance of effective co-ordination on the ground. UK personnel in those missions have played a valuable role in helping to ensure that proper co-ordination takes place.
