PRAGUE, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) -- The territorial integrity
of Georgia and the country's reconstruction after the recent armed conflict with
Russia will be the Czech government's priorities at the forthcoming EU summit on
Georgia, Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg said on Wednesday.
The reconstruction plan should concern the whole
territory of Georgia, including the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and
Abkhasia whose independence Russia officially recognized on Tuesday, the Czech
news agency CTK quoted Schwarzenberg as saying.
Russian troops entered Georgia in early August after
Georgia tried to dominate its province South Ossetia by force.
Schwarzenberg told journalists after a cabinet
meeting that Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek received a relatively open mandate
for the summit to be organized on Monday on the initiative of French President
Nicolas Sarkozy.
Topolanek said the summit would discuss long-term
reconstruction of Georgia. The Czech Republic wants to earmark 150million crowns
(about 8.9 million U.S. dollars) for it in the next three years, according to
CTK.
EU Affairs Minister Alexandr Vondra said the Czech EU
presidency, lasting from January till June 2009, will certainly deal with the
conflict, CTK said.
The relations between Russia and the EU will be on
the agenda, Vondra said.
