    United Nations S/2007/439 Security Council Distr.: General 18 July 2007 Original: English Report of the Secretary-General on the situation in Abkhazia, Georgia I. Introduction 1. The present report is submitted pursuant to Security Council resolution 1752 (2007) of 13 April 2007, by which the Security Council decided to extend the mandate of the United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) until 15 October 2007. It provides an update of the situation in Abkhazia, Georgia since my report of 3 April 2007 (S/2007/182). 2. My Special Representative, Jean Arnault, continued to lead the Mission. He was assisted by the Chief Military Observer, Major General Niaz Muhammad Khan Khattak (Pakistan). The strength of UNOMIG on 1 July 2007 stood at 135 military observers and 16 police officers (see annex). II. Political process 3. During the reporting period, UNOMIG continued efforts to maintain peace and stability in the zone of conflict. It also sought to remove obstacles to the resumption of dialogue between the Georgian and Abkhaz sides in the expectation that cooperation on security, the return of internally displaced persons and refugees, economic rehabilitation and humanitarian issues would facilitate meaningful negotiations on a comprehensive political settlement of the conflict, taking into account the principles contained in the document entitled “Basic Principles for the Distribution of Competences between Tbilisi and Sukhumi”, its transmittal letter (see S/2002/88, para. 3) and additional ideas by the sides. 4. Throughout the reporting period, my Special Representative maintained regular contact with both sides, as well as with the Group of Friends of the Secretary-General both in Tbilisi and in their capitals.

The SP includes rehabilitation of a 775-meter-long road from Vartsikhe-Didveli motorway main road to the Vartsikhe Cellar. The road is registered as a municipal property (with the cadastral code: 30.06.33.008) and the road bed does not overlap with the privately-owned agricultural land plots under vineyards and other crops located on the sides of the road, so works will be completed within the ROW. Furthermore, contractor does not need any access to the adjacent lands to complete the civil works. No residential houses are located at the road sides. The road to be rehabilitated is in a very poor condition. The first half section is covered with ground and gravel surface, while another half has no cover and only traces of car tires are visible marks of the road bed. According to the SP design, the road will be covered by asphalt and road signs will be arranged. Along the road, there are two culverts, one of them is in a satisfactory condition and one pipe needs to be repaired. The road will be rehabilitated within the following parameters: the width of the carriageway - 6.0m; the width of the shoulders - 0.5m.
