Într-un moment în care aşteptăm încă primele articulări ale unei poziţii coerente româneşti în criza georgiană, Franţa a trimis deja prima propunere de plan în 3 puncte pentru încetarea focului. CSAT-ul s-a terminat de aproape o oră şi nu a apărut niciun comunicat oficial. Pe de altă parte Sakozy a anunţat că planul său e rodul a mai multor consultări avute astăzi cu statele foarte interesate de acest dosar. Adică Marea Britanie, Italia, Spania, Ucraina, Polonia, Germania şi Statele Unite. Unde eram noi? Ne interesa sau nu să avem o propunere pentru rezolvarea conflictului? Era mai importantă vizita într-o comună din Neamţ pentru nişte întâlniri melodramatice cu sinistraţii? Era mai importantă o zi în plus pe croazieră cu Patriciu?

(Adds details, Kouchner quote)

He would also hold discussions with the leaders of Russia,
Germany, Poland and the United States, it said.
The statement said European Union foreign ministers would
hold an emergency meeting early next week to assess the
situation and consider ways to end the conflict.
Sarkozy proposed a three-point plan, including an immediate
halt to hostilities and full respect for the sovereignty and
territorial integrity of Georgia, it said.
The plan also called for "the re-establishment of the
situation with prevailed previously in the area, implying the
retreat of Russian and Georgian forces to their previous
positions".
Speaking on French television, French Foreign Minister

something so small is at stake."

an immediate end to the conflict.
