The Russian-Georgian relations were one of the key topics of the meeting of Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili and members of EU Council's Political and Security Committee.

Speaking at the meeting, Ivanishvili said that despite the fact that positive momentum is observed in certain respects, Russia still continues unlawful actions.

He underscored that installation of barbed wire entanglements in Georgian has been going on for several days.

Ivanishvili urged the EU on behalf of government to enhance support to Georgia.

Russia's actions and militarization create a threat both for population, Georgia and the whole region, Georgian PM said.

"I would like to call on the European Union on behalf of the Georgian government, to strengthen support for the Eastern Partnership countries taking into account the current serious external challenges and ensure the realization of the objectives of Vilnius summit which have been already agreed upon," Ivanishvili said.

Earlier, the Georgian Foreign Ministry accused Russia of flagrant violation of the principles of international law noting that the barriers prevent the relations between the nations.

Georgia and Russia, its giant northern neighbor, have maintained no diplomatic relations since a brief war in 2008. Tbilisi broke off relations with Moscow in August 2008 when Moscow crushed a Georgian assault to reassert control over two rebel regions -- South Ossetia and Abkhazia -- and later recognized the regions. Georgia announced the two unrecognized republics as occupied territories in September 2008.
