Georgia, Tbilisi, Oct. 4 / Trend N. Kirtzkhalia /

Georgian first deputy foreign minister David Zalkaliani and representatives of the diplomatic corps accredited in Georgia will visit three villages along the administrative border line on Friday.

According to the Georgian Foreign Ministry, representatives of the foreign ministry and diplomatic corps will become acquainted with the situation in Didi Khurvaleti, Dwani and Ditsi.

The diplomats will be able to view the Russian border guards work on the set up of the so-called border of South Ossetia with Georgia.

EU and NATO have condemned the actions of the Russian side, saying they do not recognise the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

Large scale military action was launched in South Ossetia on August 8, 2008. Later, Russian troops occupied Tskhinvali and expelled the Georgian military.

Russia recognised the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia in late August. In response, Tbilisi ended diplomatic relations with Moscow and has called the two unrecognised republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia occupied territories.
