A French foreign ministry spokesman said at least 200 observers would be deployed in buffer zones next to the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia by October 1. Germany will be sending 40 monitors as part of the mission. Under a French-brokered peace plan, Russia has agreed to withdraw its forces from areas adjacent to the regions within 10 days of the deployment of the international observers. France currently holds the rotating EU presidency and has led negotiations to resolve the conflict between Moscow and Tbilisi after last month's five-day war over the two rebel regions.
