" This is contrary to the international obligations of Russia and does not contribute to the peaceful settlement of the conflict. This has a negative effect on the situation on the ground , on the lives of the citizens of Georgia who live on both sides of the administrative border. I call for the removal of these barriers ," he said in the statement .
In this case, Rasmussen reminded NATO position regarding the territorial integrity of Georgia.
"As it was noted at the Chicago NATO Summit , the Alliance supports the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Georgia within its internationally recognized borders. We call on Russia to reverse its recognition of regions of Georgia - South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states ," he said.
