Russia lifted last Thursday trade, economic, financial and transport sanctions on Abkhazia, and urged other CIS countries to follow suit.
"Moscow is considering building a health resort in Pitsunda, Abkhazia, which is possible now that economic sanctions against the unrecognized republic have been lifted," said Georgy Muradov, the head of the Moscow city government's department of foreign trade and international relations.
Muradov said that the project would be another step toward expanding the network of Moscow's healthcare institutions abroad.
Moscow authorities bought a recreation camp in Kamchia, Bulgaria, in the fall of 2003, and children from socially vulnerable families are sent there on holiday every year.
Abkhazia appealed last Friday to the United Nations and Russia to recognize its independence.
Both Abkhazia and another Georgian breakaway republic, South Ossetia, were involved in bloody conflicts with Georgia after proclaiming independence following the split up of the Soviet Union in 1991.
