"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"
While the authorities do not voice this publicly, they fear that the warming of Russian-Georgian relations could reach a “temperature” that threatens Abkhazia’s sovereignty.
Politicians in Abkhazia hope that whoever comes to power as a result of these elections will take steps toward resolving the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict peacefully.
