On 25 November an EU Monitoring Mission patrol observed seven Russian and South Ossetian armed personnel accompanying three South Ossetian civilians performing measuring activities on the ground along the Administrative Boundary Line, close to the village of Ditsi.
This is not the first time that such measuring activity has been reported. The Mission has increasing indications that this is part of a broader policy of unilateral border demarcation. The EUMM is concerned about these “border demarcation works”, as they are incompatible with the principle of Georgian territorial integrity, which is fully supported by the European Union.
