    CIS informal summit in Moscow

    15:20 2004-07-03

    An informal summit of the CIS leaders will continue in Moscow on
    Saturday.

    The presidents of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Moldova,
    Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia and Belarus
    arrived in Moscow at Vladimir Putin's invitation yesterday.

    The CIS leaders will hold an informal discussion of preparations for
    the September summit in Astana and the celebrations of the 60th
    anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the Kremlin
    press service told RIA Novosti.

    Moreover, the sides will consider the CIS development and
    implementation of these or those decisions, said Russian First Deputy
    Foreign Minister Valery Loshchinin.

    At this summit the CIS leaders will hold a free discussion of
    interesting issues, he added. In his words, they are likely to raise
    the problem of the Georgian-Ossetian settlement to promote peaceful
    talks. [South Ossetia is a self-proclaimed republic in Georgia].

    "We expect Tbilisi to cease attacks against the mixed control
    commission for Georgian-Ossetian settlement," Mr. Loshchinin said.

    "This commission is the single mechanism of negotiations, which was
    formed to discuss Georgian-Ossetian problems," he stressed. According
    to him, no bilateral talks are planned during the informal summit.
