The self -proclaimed Republic of Abkhazia in the coming days will turn to Russia, the CIS and the UN with a request to recognize its independence. Such a decision was made at an emergency meeting of the Security Council of the Republic, said the head of Abkhazia Sergey Bagapsh, Interfax reports.
At the meeting, he said, the situation was discussed after the recognition of Kosovo by an independent state. Sukhumi decided to follow Protina's example.
The President of South Ossetia Eduard Kokoita, in turn, confirmed the agency that his republic will also ask for independence to recognize its independence in the coming days - perhaps the same day with Abkhazia.
According to RIA Novosti, Bagapsh also said that in the next ten days he, Kokoita and the leader of the Transnistria, Igor Smirnov will meet and prepare an action plan to gain independence. "Within a week - ten days, a meeting of the heads of three unrecognized republics will take place, where we will develop the main plan of our further actions," he said.
