implementation of relevant UN Security Council resolutions.

strengthen rules based on the respect for human rights and on

societies,’ he said.

readiness to continue work there, whatever the outcome of an eventual
status settlement.

protection of rights of communities, particularly in regards to
decentralization and the protection of cultural and religious sites,"
he said.

region’s unresolved disputes, including the Georgian-Ossetian,
Nagorno-Karabakh and Transdniestrian conflicts, and the importance of
continuing negotiations.

for dialogue and understanding,’ he said.
