VIENNA, 16 June 2015 – In view of the upcoming 32nd round of the Geneva International Discussions which is scheduled for 30 June to 1 July, Ambassador Angelo Gnaedinger, the Special Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office for the South Caucasus, Ambassador Herbert Salber, EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia, as well as UN Senior Political Affairs Advisor Hailu Mamo held consultations with participants in Tbilisi, Sukhumi, Tskhinvali and Moscow.
The co-chairing teams focused in their consultations on the agenda of the upcoming round, on security as well as on humanitarian questions such as missing persons, internally displaced persons and cultural heritage. They used the opportunity to travel to the Gali district, to Akhalgori and to meet with representatives of international organizations and the civil society.
Referring to the March round which had turned out to be difficult, Ambassador Gnaedinger encouraged participants to work in a constructive and result-oriented manner during the 32nd round. “I’m convinced that the Geneva Discussions and the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanisms have significantly contributed to security on the ground and that co-chairs and participants share a responsibility for achieving progress in the process,” underlined Gnaedinger.
