Avignon, France – International experts should investigate who carries the blame for starting the war between Georgia and Russia in August, European Union foreign ministers agreed Saturday ahead of a crunch EU mission to Moscow and Tbilisi. “We were all together in favour of an international inquiry. No allegation, no provocation without proof: we have to know what happened,” French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, who chaired the informal meeting in the French town of Avignon, said.
