NATO does not recognise the elections held on May 31 in South Ossetia. The holding of such elections does not contribute to a peaceful and lasting settlement of the situation in Georgia.

The Alliance reiterates its full support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally recognised borders.
