At the seventh session of the working group for security issues of the Coordinating Council for Georgian-Abkhazian settlement the sides signed a protocol reflecting interest to intensify activity of the joint group for preventing acts of terrorism in the conflict zone.

Abkhaz Minister for Special Affairs Malkhaz Kakabadze, Deputy Prosecutor General of Georgia Polikarpe Moniava and Deputy Defence Minister Givi Agrba signed the protocol on behalf of Abkhaz government, while the Georgian side was represented by the Commander of the Russian peacekeeping forces in Georgian-Abkhazian conflict zone Nikolay Sidorichev and head of the UN Military Observers Mission in Georgia Anis Ahmed Bajwa.
