The Russian side expects the same clear-cut and conscientious attitude from all those whom it concerns, above all the Georgian leadership as well as the European Union, to the fulfillment of the said agreement. It is, first and foremost, about the guarantees given by the European Union regarding the nonuse of force by the Georgian side against Abkhazia and South Ossetia, the return of all Georgian forces by October 1 to their places of permanent deployment and the timely deployment of international observers in the areas of Georgia abutting Abkhazia and South Ossetia, including at least 200 EU observers, which will make it possible within ten days after this to withdraw Russian peacekeeping forces from these areas as well.
