Belarus
Here in Sukhom, officials from Belarus are meeting today with their counterparts from the Republic of Abkhazia and discussing issues related to the recognition of Abkhazia. The outcome is not certain at this moment, but Abkhazia is clearly hopeful.
Although there are credibility issues related to Belarus, it would be an important step for Abkhazia. Belarus has a military alliance with Russia. I am unsure as to whether that alliance would then be extended to Abkhazia. Of course, recognition by Belarus would move Abkhazia a step closer to CIS recognition (The CIS is composed of the post Soviet nations minus Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia).
Belarus has been pressured by Georgia in the other direction, but it is hard to see how the Georgians have much leverage. On the other hand, Belarus may not want to make any moves that the European Union does not approve of.

Так уже с недели две не могу попасть со своего ип в блог.
