Gate'S statement is the official beginning of the end of Shaakashvilli.
Meanwhile, Sarkozy also gets only a cautious welcome at home:

Quote:
Europe is "divided between old and new member states" with the first "being understanding towards Russia, the second not at all".
These divisions were perceived as having complicated Mr Sarkozy's task of representing the EU in Moscow this week.
Yves Theard in the centre-right Le Figaro said that "the Europe of 27 members states is not well placed to curb Russian confidence. "Too many countries, freed from the yoke of Moscow, are driven by a desire for revenge against Russia to allow for a calm, united and consensual European diplomacy. Poland and the Baltic states are not ready".
