Voice of Russia reports that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during the meeting with reporters in Luxembourg said that Moscow will judge the actual plans of a new Georgian government by its concrete moves and its stance on Russia and the South Caucasus.
The new Georgian government has been formed in the wake of last week’s parliamentary elections in the republic.
The Georgian Dream opposition alliance has polled most votes. The President Mikhail Saakashvili-led party will now be in opposition. Lavrov said earlier that Russia is looking forward to normalizing relations with Georgia, but will hold no talks on the future of South Ossetia or Abkhazia.
Russia and Georgia currently have no diplomatic relations between them. Tbilisi severed these relations after Russia recognized, in August 2008, the sovereignty of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, the two autonomous entities that formed part of Georgia and pressed for independence prior to the break-up of the USSR.
