European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso confirmed the EU's unchanged policy to recognize territorial integrity and independence of Georgia, Barroso said during a meeting in Brussels with the head of the Georgian government Nika Gilauri.

According to the press service of the Georgian Prime-Minister, at a press-briefing after the meeting Barroso expressed his regret that Russia does not fulfill its commitments under the cease-fire agreement of August 2008.

"The only way to fulfill these obligations is to intensify the negotiating process within the Geneva format", Barroso said.

He expressed regret at the fact that every meeting in this format ends without concrete results, and that the EU observers are unable to monitor on the territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
