The European Union welcomes the positive developments in Adjara and the peaceful manner in which these have come about. |
The UNOMIG team in Adjara in the upper Kodori Valley was withdrawn twice: in late January and in February. |
As mentioned above, the reactivation of the Adjara patrol base in upper Kodori Valley is already in progress. |
During the patrol, UNOMIG made preparation for the reactivation of the Kodori team base in Adjara, scheduled for July. |
The patrol continued along the length of the Kodori valley, staying the night at the UNOMIG team base in Adjara. |
Adjara had been ruled since Georgian independence as a personal fiefdom of Aslan Abashidze, a former minor functionary. |
