`We are most of all worried about the fact that the 56 member states have failed to reach consensus on Georgia crisis. Greece, as the chairman country of the organization, will continue activities to resume the OSCE operation in Georgia,` the Minister said.
Russia vetoed the extension of the OSCE mission in Georgia on December 23 session. The Russian delegation was very sharp in its position saying the previous mandate was inept today because Abkhazia and South Ossetia were already independent republics.

By vetoing the OSCE mission extension in Georgia Russia has in fact breached the six-point ceasefire agreement.

The decision to breach Russia`s solemn pledge to allow the OSCE to continue its work in Georgia should be seen in the light of Putin`s new diplomacy. There is little the OSCE or its Euro-Atlantic members can do. The interesting thing will be to see if President Sarkozy makes a protest. It was his agreement that has now been dishonoured. Will Paris protest or has Putin won another trick in his efforts to divide Europeans internally and Europe from North America?
As u can see Putin wants to quarrel Europe to could do what he wants in Georgia!

OSCE closes its office in Georgia
The head of the OSCE mission to Georgia Mrs. Terhi Hakala has said the OSCE office was finishing its mission to Georgia due to Russia`s non-constructive position. Mrs. Hakala met with the deputy foreign minister of Georgia Aleksandre Nalbandov to report the details of the mission completion.
The OSCE office head says that they stopped operation in Georgia yesterday and they will begin the process of leaving the country in January. She said she was very sorry for the decision, because the OSCE had to do a lot in Georgia.
The OSCE mission in Georgia is waiting for additional information from the head office of the organization. She hopes consultations on the extension of the OSCE mandate will continue, however, now they have to leave the country.
Terhi Hakala has hailed the work of the OSCE mission in Georgia during all these years. She says the EU military monitors would assume the OSCE observers` functions temporarily.

How do you guy think about it? I find it rather ridiculous especially since Russia does not treat these regions like autonomous republics. We do know very well from Soviet Union what the term "autonomous" means for them. Their so called ambassadors are only appointed governors of Putin's nibs.
