The Co-chairman of JCC from the south-ossetian party Boris Chochiev has sent a letter to the co-chairman of JCC from the Russian party Juriy Popov, in which he supports the offer on holding a meeting of the co-chairmen on June, 7th-8th in Tskhinval.
In the night from June, 4th, for June, 5th the northern outskirts of the capital of the Republic of South Ossetia,Tskhinval, has undergone shelling from grenade cup discharges. The press-service of the Ministry of Defence and emergency situations of the Republic of South Ossetia informs about it. The aimless shelling on the inhabited quarters of the town was conducted from the direction of the Georgian village Tamarasheni. There are no victims or wounded.
At present the group of monitoring, consisting of the military observers of JPKF and the representatives of the Mission of OSCE, works at the place of shelling.
Today, at 9:12am, in the immediate vicinity of the border of South Ossetia Republic with Georgia, in the Georgian village Ergneti, at the illegally placed post of the power structures of Georgia the inhabitant of Tskhinval, a taxi driver Chermen Dzhagaev, has been kidnapped. The press-service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of South Ossetia Republic informs about it.
«Chermen Dzhagaev, having driven to the border on a motor vehicle VAZ 2107, has been kidnapped by people in military form. After the three unknown persons have sat down near Dzhagaev, one of whom has seized him by a throat, the car has left towards Georgia», they have noted at the press-service. The Joint Staff of JPKF and the Mission of OSCE are notified of the fact of kidnapping.
In connection with absence of water supply a critical ecological situation has occurred in Tskhinval. The threat of occurrence of various infectious diseases among the population is created. At the same time the Georgian side continues interfering with the carrying out of the repair works on restoration of the sluice.
For carrying out of the rehabilitation works on the sluice, the command of JPKF offers the parties the opportunity of allocation of their forces and means.
The incessant artificial aggravation of the situation in the zone of the georgian-ossetian conflict and the demonstrative provoking of dangerous tension in the georgian-ossetian relations, that the management of Georgia continues to carry out, leaves less hopes for the opportunity of conducting a constructive dialogue with it as with the adequate opponent.
As it has already been informed, as a result of the deliberate destruction by the Georgian side of the main sluice Edis-Tskhinval in the area of the georgian-populated villages Tamarasheni-Kekhvi, the supply of potable water to the town Tskhinval is stopped. The twelve-day water blockade in conditions of the unusually hot weather put the population of the town in a critical situation, really threatening with the occurrence of humanitarian accident.
