The European Union supports the integrity of Georgia in its internationally recognized borders, said Swedish FM Carl Bildt. Last year, after a war fought between Georgia and Russia, Georgia's breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia declared independence. "EU supports Georgia's integrity" Bildt, whose country is currently holding the EU presidency, made the statement while in Tbilisi, where he traveled along with the union's ministerial troika. "The EU is monitoring the political process in Georgia and is ready to continue to offer assistance for the implementation of democratic reforms in the country," said he. The EU troika met with opposition leaders to discuss what the government and the opposition could do to overcome the crisis in the country, reports said. But Georgia's president, Mikheil Saakashvili, said there in fact was no political crisis, and stressed that "a majority of the population supports him". Saakashvili also revealed that he did not intend to step down before the end of his presidential mandate in 2013.
