The Institute of Democracy and Cooperation headed by Dr. Natalia Narochnitskaya is engaged in monitoring of the post-soviet area suffering from frozen conflicts. I have already visited Abkhazia, Transdnistria and Georgia as a member of the OSCE observation mission. I am also planning to pay a visit to South Ossetia,” Mr. Bonnot said.
