The french diplomacy makes marvels.
The Bush admin. is totaly OFF-BASE with realities concerning Russia and the EU. they behave like total cretins.
Fortunately, the deals are being done between the guys who live in the eurasian continent, not with cold-war era blind poeple dug in the pentagone, almost on another planet.
Medvedev said Russia had received guarantees from European Union countries, represented by rotating president France, that Georgia would refrain from any use of force to try to regain control of pro-Russian South Ossetia.
Medvedev said, after meeting Sarkozy and an EU delegation at his official residence outside Moscow, there was an agreement in principle to deploy a 200-strong EU monitoring contingent to discuss the fallout of the Georgia conflict.
Sarkozy said Russia had agreed to remove checkpoints around Georgia's Poti port -- a particular source of alarm in the West -- within a week.
"In one week, the checkpoint (is to be) dismantled. In one month, Russian military forces (are to be) outside Georgian territory, with the exception naturally of Ossetia and Abkhazia," said Sarkozy.
