Georgia welcomed on Tuesday the decisions of an emergency EU summit on its conflict with Russia, saying it remains committed to a French-brokered ceasefire agreement with Russia.
The Georgian Foreign Ministry "commends" the decisions of the EU leaders to unanimously condemn Russia's decision to recognize the independence of two breakaway regions of Georgia, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, the ministry said in a statement.
Georgia "remains committed to" the ceasefire deal with Moscow, the statement said.
Georgia welcomes the EU's decision to get involved in building an international monitoring mechanism to replace additional Russian troops deployed outside the conflict zone in Georgia, it said.
Moscow last week recognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states after a military conflict with Georgia in early August. The conflict ended with a six-point ceasefire agreement brokered by France.
At the summit on Tuesday in Brussels, the EU leaders decided to freeze talks on a new partnership pact with Moscow pending its full withdrawal of troops from Georgia, but shied away from sanctions. Moscow regretted the freeze on talks.
