German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier has arrived in Tbilisi in a bid to revive peace talksover unrest in Georgia's rebel regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Steinmeier's task will be to align Georgian views with the demands of Moscow and the Russian-backed separatist regions. Steinmeier is expected to present a three-phase peace plan consisting of a mutual declaration of non-violence, repatriation of ethnic Georgian refugees to Abkhazia and foreign aid for reconstruction of the breakaway regions. Steinmeier's trip will also take him to Moscow for talks with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov before he returns to Berlin on Saturday.
