The South Ossetian President Eduard Kokoity appealed the population of the Republic not to yield to the calls for violence in response to the terrorist attack on September 9 in Vladikavkaz.
"The tragedy in North Ossetia is our common tragedy and pain of both Christians and Muslims. This was another severe challenge for the people of Ossetia. We are one people; neither the Caucasus ridge, nor armed aggression or terrorist acts will ever divide our people. I understand how hard it is to many of us; and as the Caucasus traditions say, we should somehow respond. However, those who planned and carried out this inhuman action, counted on the fact that the response would follow ", the president said speaking at the meeting of the leadership and representatives of public and political organizations of South Ossetia.

The replacement of passports of citizens of the Republic of South Ossetia will be completed by June 2011, said the president of South Ossetia Eduard Kokoity while speaking at a meeting of representatives of the government, public and political organizations of South Ossetia.
The President instructed to toughen the requirements for those obtaining the South Ossetian citizenship, as it often happens that the will to obtain a passport is motivated with the possibility to participate in "customs clearance of vehicles in South Ossetia."

There will be no census in South Ossetia 2010, told the Head of the State Statistics of RSO Eric Pukhaev.
"Rehabilitation works are currently ongoing in South Ossetia, many houses are under construction, which excludes the possibility to carry out a census of the residents," said Pukhaev.
In addition, as noted by the Head of the Statistical Agency, a census implies certain expenditures.
"Due to the fact that the state funds are primarily directed at the restoration and the construction of housing in the country, it is impractical, or even inhumane, to conduct a census among the people, many of whom do not live in their homes," said the Head of the Agency.

The Supreme Court of South Ossetia postponed today's open trial against Teimuraz Dzherapova in relation to his involvement in 2006 "alternative" election of South Ossetia's president and his activities as a minister of economy in the so-called "Interim Administration" of Sanakoev until August 2008.
