NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer is to visit Georgia on Monday.
The move is intended to coordinate NATO support for the country following last month's conflict with Russia. Scheffer will lead all 26 NATO ambassadors on the two-day visit, to include talks with President Mikheil Saakashvili on Tblisi's bid to join the military alliance as well as reconstruction needs. Russia, which deeply opposes NATO enlargement, has urged the alliance to cancel the visit, which was already planned before the brief war over the rebel region of South Ossetia.
