In Abkhazia, presidential elections are coming up, and the new leader will face the issue of the Russian-Abkhaz investment agreement, the same one that led to Bzhania's downfall.
Representatives of the opposition in Abkhazia personally conveyed their negative attitude towards the draft agreement on benefits for Russian investments in the Abkhaz economy to members of parliament.
"Echo of Abkhazia" publishes an interview with public figure and former parliamentarian Leonid Chamagua, discussing how far Abkhaz politicians are concerned about the outcome of the elections, and how it might impact Abkhazia.
