European Union will declare to Russian representatives its position on the processes in Georgia's breakaway regions, according to the statement issued by European Commissioner Stefan Fule's office after his meeting with Georgia's Justice Minister Thea Tsulukiani, Georgia's Foreign Ministry said.
"During the meeting Commissioner Fule confirmed the European Union's support to territorial integrity and concern with which the European Union follows the process of construction of barbed wire along the administrative border of Abkhazia and South Ossetia," the statement of the European Commission said.
Large scale military action was launched in South Ossetia on August 8, 2008. Later, Russian troops occupied Tskhinvali and expelled the Georgian military.
Russia recognised the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia in late August. In response, Tbilisi ended diplomatic relations with Moscow and has called the two unrecognised republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia occupied territories.
