The European External Action Service (EEAS) issued a statement on 25 February on the latest developments along the administrative boundary line of Georgia’s breakaway region of Abkhazia. The EU has called for the crossing points to be opened to ensure freedom of movement, including humanitarian crossings.
“The announced closure of two crossing points along the administrative boundary line of Georgia’s breakaway region of Abkhazia – Nabakevi-Khurcha and Meore Otobaia-Orsantia – which are used daily by hundreds of commuters, will be detrimental to the freedom of movement of the population, including school children, on both sides of the Administrative Boundary Line. It will likely increase the risk of incidents, especially detentions,” the statement says.
According to the statement, this decision could damage “security and improved living conditions for the conflict-affected population” and also “longer-term conflict resolution and overall stability in the region”.
The EU continues to follow the situation along the border, in particular through the enhanced presence of its monitoring mission (EUMM), and to support Georgia’s territorial integrity.
