After his meetings Ambassador Haber commented: “ I have had a series of useful discussions here today. I understand that the people who live close to the Administrative Boundary Line feel afraid and have concerns about their security. We are concerned in particular about the recent incidents in this area, in Eritskal and Pakhulani, and hope that the relevant authorities will complete their investigations into these events as quickly as possible. We want to work with all the authorities on both sides of the boundary line to improve the situation for everyone.”
