The OSCE mission will close its offices in Georgia on June 30. The term of its mandate expires in two weeks. The head of the mission, Terhi Hakala has expressed her concern that the organization will no longer be able to carry out monitoring in the region. Tehri Hakala met with foreign minister of Georgia Grigol Vashadze today.
`The mission has been doing wonderful job in different sector, in all three dimensions of the OSCE security. it`s political military section, human direction, economic environment sector and as you know the core of our mandate was South Ossetia and the conflict zone in South Ossetia, but we lost this function after the war,` Terhi Hakala said as she talked with the journalists at the farewell meeting in the foreign ministry.
Before departure from Georgia, Mrs. Hakala will hold meeting with the Minister of Interior Vano Merabishvili and Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili.
The OSCE wraps ups its mission due to the Russian veto as it was in case of the UNOMIG. The mandate expired on February 18, but the process of withdrawal took these three months.
