In May, Switzerland will select company for monitoring cargos on Georgian-Russian border
This May, the Swiss party will choose a company, which will monitor cargo traffic in the checkpoints on the Psou River (the Abkhazian section of the border), Roki (the South-Ossetian section of the border) and in Lars.
On March 28 in Geneva, the Georgia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergi Kapanadze met Peter Mauer, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Switzerland, who was a direct mediator between the Georgian and Russian parties at negotiations on Russia's accession to the World Trade Organization.
"We talked about the companies to be selected for direct monitoring. The Swiss party plans to select the company by May, when we'll know all the details," the "Georgia-Online" quotes Sergi Kapanadze as saying.
"So far, we have no official information about it, because consultations should be held with the Swiss party, which should inform Georgia about the conditions of the tender and the winning company," said Nino Kalandadze, another Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia.
She added that "the most important point is that the Georgian party trusts the choice of Switzerland, which chooses the company under our agreement, which, in its turn, will report to the Swiss party," the "News-Georgia" reports.
