A Kremlin statement said Medvedev and Sarkozy spent more than an hour discussing the Georgian crisis by telephone.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev told his French counterpart Nicolas Sarkozy that Georgian troops must return to their barracks in line with a French-brokered ceasefire, the Kremlin said on Thursday. A Kremlin statement said Medvedev and Sarkozy spent more than an hour discussing the Georgian crisis by telephone, a conversation French officials said took place on Wednesday. "The Russian side has stressed the need for Tbilisi to carry out point four of the Medvedev-Sarkozy plan, under which all Georgian troops should be returned to their original bases," the Kremlin said in its account of the conversation. "(Medvedev and Sarkozy) also discussed additional agreements, which may in future ensure safety in the areas near the borders of South Ossetia and Abkhazia," the Kremlin statement said. /Reuters/
