Georgia, Tbilisi / Trend corr. N.Kirtskhalia / The South Caucasus, in spite of current progress, is listed as a danger zone due to the frozen conflicts, said Peter Semneby, a special representative of European Union on South Caucasus.
"I visited Georgia in 1992, when the country was in war. The situation in Abkhazia and South Osetia has not been solved yet although there are no armed conflicts," Semneby said during the 'European Neighborhood Policy in Georgia' international conference in Tbilisi.
There is no evident progress in the settlement of these conflicts in Georgia, which causes instability in the country.
The special representative stated that elections will be held both in Georgia and Russia in 2008 and there is the possibility to use new methods for the settlement of the conflicts. "I think the Russian position and elections to the Federation will be relevant for Georgia," Semneby said.
The European Union, according to Semneby, will increase its participation in development of infrastructure in the areas of conflict. EU developed several events, which will assist the region to join and follow the European Neighborhood Policy, Semneby stated.
