EUMM monitors temporarily held by security actors

17.09.2024
This afternoon, a patrol of the European Union Monitoring Mission (EUMM) was temporarily held by security actors while conducting a routine patrol near the Abkhaz Administrative Boundary Line (ABL) in the Khurcha area. The monitors were released unharmed and in good health. 

The EUMM expresses deep concern over any actions that obstruct its monitors from carrying out their mandated activities. These patrols are essential for ensuring stability, transparency, and safety in the conflict-affected areas. Incidents of this nature undermine efforts to build confidence and prevent tensions.

The EUMM-managed Hotline was activated to exchange information with relevant actors surrounding the incident.
