The authorities of South Ossetia are intending to agree on the presence of international observers on the territory of the Republic, said the RSO President at his meeting with the delegation of the RF Federal Council. He noted that this position of the authorities was not new.
"We are categorically against of any kind of observers, who instead of monitoring the situation, carry out intelligence functions. This has been proved through the events of August 2008, when the OSCE monitors had left the territory of South Ossetia beforehand.

The process of collection of illegally kept small arms from the population of the Republic of South Ossetia, reported the Interior Minister Valery Valiev.
"We are carrying out the measures on collection of illegally kept arms in accordance with elaborated program. Citizens of the Republic have been lately handing over submachine guns, rifles and explosives every week. There are honest residents, who kept the arms in safe places, but some were quite negligent", said Valiev.
