On 6 April 2008 the Georgian side removed a total blockade of the Ossetian villages of Leningor, Znaur and Tskhinval districts of the Republic of South Ossetia. The Georgian government took this decision in the consequence of international community’s pressure, first of all OSCE and the International Community of Red Cross. JCC South Ossetian part co-chairman Boris Chochiev has actively interacted all these days with the Head of OSCE Mission to Georgia Terhi Hakkala and her deputy Veselin Nikolaev as well as the Head of ICRC delegation to Georgia Dominic Liengme and the other representatives of international political and humanitarian organizations, who has condemned barbarian, middle-aged methods of military and police blockades of the peaceful villages.
