On 29 June, the second meeting of South Ossetian and Russian commissions for delimitation and demarcation of the state borderline will take place in South Ossetia. "We have already done the preliminary work in Moscow and Vladikavkaz. There are certain difficulties, which are related to the fact that we have practically no documents except for the Decree on the establishment of South Ossetian Autonomous Oblast of 1922, majority of the documents are in Tbilisi. And we certainly cannot obtain them from there, and hence, we have to collect small pieces available mainly in the archives in the Russian Federation", said the Deputy Plenipotentiary for Post-conflict Settlement Merab Chigoev.
"Taking into account the fact that the Georgian side will hardly get engaged in this work, we have to act unilaterally. We will attract land-surveyors, KGB, all relevant bodies", underscored Chigoev. The delegation will be working from 28 June to 1 July 2010. According to him, it is also planned to create a joint Russian – South Ossetian commission for delimitation and demarcation of the state border. It is worth reminding two Russian-South Ossetian commissions were created in April 2009 for delimitation and demarcation of the state border. The first meeting was held in Moscow in February 2010.
