Hungary – with full support to the Statement by the spokesperson of EU High Representative Catherine Ashton on the elections in the breakaway region of Abkhazia in Georgia of 27 August 2011 – does not recognise the constitutional and legal framework of the presidential elections held in Abkhazia (Georgia).

Hungary reiterates its firm stand for Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders. She supports the process of the Geneva International Discussions and the activity of the European Union Monitoring Mission in Georgia in which she continues to take part actively.
