Stockholm - The Swedish cabinet Thursday approved to provide civilian observers and other personnel to support a European Union ceasefire mission to Georgia.
The Swedish contribution would number some 25 personnel to staff a field office, a government statement said.
"The Swedish contribution of personnel and equipment is an expression of Sweden's commitment to peace and security in the southern Caucasus," the ministers for defence, justice and international development cooperation said in a joint statement.
The exact division of observers and other staff was yet to be decided, officials told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa.
