Over the Loon's Nest

As the Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili said in a interview with the BBC, pleading for international help and agreeing to a immediate ceasefire, in his background was not only Georgia's flag and the official Governments flag on his left but that of the European Union on his right.

Georgia is not yet a member of the EU, but has interest in becoming a member.

The EU on Georgia- EU relations:

The ENP Action Plan endorsed by the EU-Georgia Cooperation Council of 14 November 2006 aims at fulfilling the provisions of the PCA and contributing to a closer relationship with Georgia, involving a significant degree of economic integration and deepening the political co-operation. It covers a period of five years.

Is Saakashvili using the flag in order to call on the EU among all for help?
