The number of violations of the state border of South Ossetia with Georgia over the past six months has increased by half, said at a press conference in Tskhinval the Deputy Chairman of the KGB of South Ossetia - the head of the KGB Border Service, Major General Sergei Kolbin.
All decisions of the government of South Ossetia on protection and arrangement of the state border with Georgia are unilateral, as the Georgian authorities have categorically refused to consider the question of the recognition of the independence of the Republic, focusing efforts on the return of the so-called "occupied territories," said at a press conference in Tskhinval, the Deputy Chairman of the KGB of South Ossetia - the head of the KGB Border Service of South Ossetia Major General Sergei Kolbin.
The government of South Ossetia has approved a draft law on putting into circulation commemorative and investment coins made of precious metals in the territory of the Republic. This decision was taken at a meeting of the Government of the Republic, held today under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Rostislav Khugaev.
As noted by the Finance Minister Aza Khabalova, the National Bank of South Ossetia is planning to issue commemorative coins in connection with the celebration of this year's fifth anniversary of Russia's recognition of independence of South Ossetia.
