Russian RIA Novosti News Agency reports that according to country’s PM Dmitry Medvedev, Moscow is ready to resume a dialogue with Tbilisi only if Georgia recognizes the sovereignty of its former republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
“This is not an easy way, but Russia has been always saying that we are ready for a dialogue with new Georgian authorities. But of course, only with the account of the existing geopolitical realities and decisions to recognize Abkhazia and South Ossetia,” said Medvedev.
Russian premier said talks on resuming relations with Georgia are more realistic after Georgia formed a new parliament following elections in October.
