The georgian side has again stirred up a subversive activity on the territory of the Republic of South Ossetia. Today, in the northern outskirts of the town of Tskhinval, directly adjoining the georgian-populated village Tamarasheni, by the georgian subversive group consisting of five persons, has been made an attempt of kidnapping of the inhabitant of the capital of the Republic of South Ossetia Eric Mamiev. The press-service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia informs about it.

Today the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia Murat Dzhioev has accepted the Head of the Tskhinval office of the Mission of OSCE Bozhidar Dmitrov. As the correspondent of the News Agency «Res» has been informed by Murat Dzhioev, in the course of the conversation has been touched the question of supply with electric power the villages of the gorge Malaya Liakhva in the direction of the village of Dmenis.

In the address of the command of JPKF has arrived a letter from the co-chairman of JCC from the georgian side D. Mandzhavidze from October, 9th, 2007 for № 4-9/687, in which deep concern is expressed by the fact, that ostensibly the command of the Joint Staff of JPKF on the offer of the georgian side to hold a monitoring in the presence of the withdrawn antiaircraft emplacement «ZU-23-2» at the south-ossetian side on May, 8th 2007, has refrained from carrying out a monitoring.

In the course of holding the repeated monitoring on October, 8th, 2007 in the area of the observant post «Spider» on the road of the settlement of Eredvi - the settlement of Achabeti by the observers from the three parties with the representatives of the Mission of OSCE it has been recorded, that the illegal post of police continues its activity in an immediate vicinity from the peace-making post «Spider». The employees of the police have not again admitted the group of monitoring to exam the place of engineering works, thus they have broken article 4 of the Provision about military contingents and the groups of military observers.

In the course of holding a monitoring on October, 4th and on October, 5th, 2007 in 100 metres to the north-west of the observant post "Spider" on the road of the settlement of Eredvi - the settlement of Achabeti by the observers from the three parties with the representatives of the Mission of OSCE had been recorded the fact of placing of an illegal post of the police. The georgian side declares, that it is ostensibly caused by the necessity of guarding of the two bearing supports of a high-voltage line. Considering, that they are on a distance of 50-150 metres from the two observant posts of the Peacemaking Forces from the Russian Federation and Georgia of "Spider" and are visually looked through from there, it puts under doubt the given statement and, especially, the legality of placing the post of police in that place.

As it was earlier informed, the authorities of the Republic of South Ossetia have made a decision on discontinuance since October, 1st, 2007 of the electric power submission in the occupied by Georgia georgian-populated villages of South Ossetia, situated on the site of the Trans-Caucasin main Kekhvi-Tamarasheni in the zone of the georgian-ossetian conflict.

The georgian side continues to ignore the arrangements, accepted by it in the zone of the conflict: the items 7 and 18 of the Appendix №1 of the Report of JCC №7 from December, 6th, 1994, and also the item 42 of the Provision on the group of military observers and illegally keeps two military men of the Peacemaking Forces from the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, seized by it in the zone of the georgian-ossetian conflict on August, 29th, 2007 by the power structures of Georgia.

The movement on the Trans-Caucasian main, suspended on October, 1st, will be completely renewed today. The correspondent of the agency «Res» have been informed about it at the Ministry of road and capital construction of the Republic of South Ossetia.

Within the last week in immediate vicinity from the observation post of the Peacemaking Forces from the Russian Federation "Spider" was repeatedly marked the presence of armed persons. In the course of work of the group of monitoring, consisting of the observers from the three parties and the representatives of the Mission of OSCE, in the area of the observant post "Spider" has been recorded the work of the field-engineer division, belonging to the Ministry of Defence of Georgia.
