Talks on additional military monitoring officers in Georgia by the Permanent Council of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in Vienna brought no result yesterday.

The OSCE wants to increase the number of military monitoring officers to 100 in the area, after the Georgia crisis worsened early August. However, the Permanent Council reached no consensus on this issue on Thursday, said the Finnish chairmanship of OSCE's Permanent Council.

Russia disagreed on OSCE's plan of sending more military monitoring officers to Georgia on this meeting, refusing to let OSCE's military monitoring officers enter South Ossetia, said diplomats here.

South Ossetia, which borders Russia, was an breakaway region of Georgia. Russia has recognized South Ossetia as an independent state after its the conflict with Tbilisi last month.
