EU representative Heikki Talvitie said he continues to urge the South Ossetian and Georgian sides to hold to a cease-fire and continue a political dialogue. He also has pledged the EU's readiness to contribute to the economic revival of the conflict area.
Talvitie met yesterday in Tbilisi with Georgian officials and the Russian and U.S. ambassadors.
The last few days have seen calm in South Ossetia following repeated nights of mortar and gunfire between South Ossetian fighters and Georgian troops.
South Ossetia has been de facto independent since breaking away from Georgia in the early 1990s. Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili has pledged to reunite the region with the rest of the country.
