Complementary to other multi-party dialogue platforms, including the Geneva International Discussions (GID), and operating independently of political challenges therein, the Dialogue project provides a reliable means of constant engagement and direct collaboration across the dividing line. This includes the provision of “one-stop shop” clearance and delivery support for medical and other essential goods and facilitation of international community access to Abkhazia. The parallel provision of ongoing direct dialogue and tangible” peace dividends” are widely recognized as important complements to higher level processes. In this regard, the Dialogue mechanism remains the only systematic informal channel entrusted by both sides to do so, in accordance with current legislation.
