OSCE SAYS NO VIOLATIONS REGISTERED ON GEORGIAN-CHECHEN
BORDER. Romania's ambassador to the OSCE, Liviu Bota, who was
previously the UN secretary-general's special representative
for the Abkhaz conflict, on 10 August inspected OSCE
monitoring posts in the Georgian border villages of Shatili,
Omalo, and Girevi, Caucasus Press reported. Bota said after
that tour that the OSCE observers deployed along the
Georgian-Chechen border have registered no unauthorized
border crossings since they began their mission in February.
Russian military officials regularly claim that mercenaries
and weapons enter Chechnya from Georgian territory. LF
