Tbilisi EU-peace plan signed
Tbilisi, president Saakashvili agreed to EU-peace plan, immediate cease-fire
and humanitarian missions. The plan is the base for the UN-resolution said
EU president Sarkozy at Tbilisi. Sarkozy, who just arrived from Moscow talks
with Medvedev who agreed before to the EU-peace plan (press conference view video)
The french exterior minister Kouchner presents the peace plan talk results at
Brussels to his collegues from the European Union.
Sarkozy says EU-peace plan is base for UN resolution...
Sarkozy was proud that the European Union could play leading mediating role in the crisis. He stressed that he is particularly coordinated with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Merkel will meet on Friday with Medwedjew at Sochi on the Black Sea, the russian riviera luxury ressort. Sarkozy sees the negotiated Peace plan as a basis for a UN resolution. Today, the EU foreign ministers have a meeting in Brussels to deal with the document.
EU Europe explainer:
European Union has a rotary system for the president. At the
moment an event or crisis happens the "rotary president" acts for all countries in
Europe. Each country has the right to act independently, if not agreeing. Europe
has no signed constitution at the moment, working on it. Seems difficult to handle,
but in practice, as we see, the timesharing president makes an extra mile to convince
his collegues. South-America with the Mercosur union (Brazil, Uruquay...) wants to
adapt the rotary sytem, so every country can speak....
How merge personal results in the EU team ?
Congratulations to president Sarkozy for his excellent effort to get the peace plan
with french diplomacy on the way. His persistence gave him the Nickname
president "Duracell" (the longlife battery advertising). German Chancellor Angelika
Merkel will fix on friday the "emotional part" of the deal at the Sochi black sea resort meeting with russian president Medvedev ("after sales service"). Merkel speaks fluent English, German, russian giving her the emotional advantage being the best trouble shooter of the EU.
