A delegation of PACE monitors will arrive in Georgia on Monday for a four-day working visit.
Kastriot Islami and Michael Jensen, PACE co-rapporteurs for the monitoring of Georgia and monitoring committee official Bas Klein will meet with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, Interior Minister Vano Merabishvili, Justice Minister Zurab Adeishvili and other Georgian top officials during their stay in Tbilisi.
The PACE monitors are also expected to meet with representatives of the Georgian parliament, non-governmental organizations, embassies, and local branches of international organizations.
The monitors will also travel to the country's eastern Kakheti region where they will talk to local residents and administration officials.
In early July, PACE President Mevlut Cavusoglu said the Assembly had not yet reached a consensus on the Russian-Georgian dossier, which was one of the main issues on the agenda of the recent PACE summer session.
PACE has discussed reports on the consequences of the August 2008 Russian-Georgian war at least five times since October 2008, when the assembly asked Russia to reverse its recognition of the former Georgian republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, but did not support radical proposals to deprive Russia of its voting right.
Russia recognized the independence of the two republics following the five-day war in August 2008, which started when Georgia attacked South Ossetia in an attempt to bring it back under central control.
Both Russia and Georgia are being monitored by PACE to ensure their compliance with commitments under the French-brokered ceasefire agreements.
