The co-chairs of the Geneva discussions will arrive in South Ossetia on Tuesday to discuss with the South Ossetian colleagues the agenda for the upcoming round of the Geneva discussions, IA “Res” was reported by the office of the Plenipotentiary Representative of the Republic for post-conflict settlement.

On Thursday morning, in the Georgian village of Ergneti, bordering South Ossetia, will be held a meeting in the format of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanisms (IPRM).
As reported to IA "Res" by Presidential Envoy for post-conflict settlement Murat Dzhioev, the South Ossetian party will strongly demand the immediate withdrawal of all Georgian armed forces from the border territory and the cessation of illegal construction works, this issue is on the agenda.
The situation around the borders of South Ossetia remains rather tense, and it is the Georgian side that deliberately creates this situation. The South Ossetian delegation said this at the next round of the Geneva discussions in early July. At the same time, the participants in the discussions noted that the situation in the Republic remained stable for the period since the last round, there were no excesses that could cause extreme concern.
The Georgian delegation at the Geneva discussions is trying to transfer the conversation into the Georgian-Russian plane, and therefore the South Ossetian delegation at every round reminds that the discussions are held because Georgia attacked South Ossetia, the head of the South Ossetian delegation, at the Geneva discussions Murat Dzhioev said at a briefing on Tuesday, summing up the 48th round.
In Geneva, the question was raised again about the need to strengthen the work on legally binding instruments on the non-use of force between Georgia and South Ossetia, Georgia and Abkhazia, which would have firm international guarantees, said the Presidential Envoy for post-conflict settlement of the Republic Murat Dzhioev.
According to him, the work took place in two working groups. The first working group discussed security issues near the borders of the Republic of South Ossetia with Georgia, while the second group dealt with humanitarian issues.
