TBILISI, Georgia—European Union cease-fire monitors in Georgia say they were shot at near a breakaway region in the former Soviet republic.The EU observer mission says in a statement Sunday that shots were fired as they investigated the shooting death of a Georgian policeman near the border with Abkhazia. They called the incident "unacceptable" and asked Abkhaz authorities to investigate.
No one was injured in Saturday's shooting. The 225-strong mission is there to monitor a fragile cease-fire brokered after a short war between Russia and Georgia in August.
Abkhazia is one of two regions of Georgia controlled by Moscow-friendly separatists to have been recognized as independent by Russia but not the West.
