“Presidential elections will be held in Abkhazia, and I should ll note that there is a rather difficult political situation there. Of course, we, as a fraternal republic, cannot remain aloof.

The delegation has also included a representative of the Presidential Executive Office and a representative of the CEC,” he said.
The parliamentarian has also expressed confidence that the elections in Abkhazia will be held in an exclusively democratic vein, without going beyond the framework of international law.
