On 3 December 2020, the Council of the European Union prolonged the mandate of the EU monitoring mission in Georgia (EUMM Georgia) until 14 December 2022. It also allocated a budget of €44.8 million for the period from 15 December 2020 to 14 December 2022, the EUMM official website reports.
The decision follows a strategic review of the mission by the Political and Security Committee.
EUMM Georgia is a civilian mission and was deployed in September 2008 following the EU-mediated Six Point Agreement which ended the August war between Russia and Georgia. It contributes to stabilisation, normalisation and confidence building between the conflict parties.
