October 10-11, 2017 in Geneva was held the next round of international discussions on security in Transcaucasia. It was attended by the delegations of the Republic of South Ossetia, the Republic of Abkhazia, Georgia, the Russian Federation, the United States, as well as the EU, the UN and the OSCE representatives. The South Ossetian delegation was headed by the Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy for Post-Conflict Settlement Murat Dzhioev.
Discussions were held in two working groups: on security and humanitarian issues.

Against the background of the general stabilization of the situation in the Caucasus, recently it has made itself felt the smoldering conflict around Nagorno- Karabakh. Despite the abundance of political actors that are involved in its settlement, only Russia is interested in the effectiveness of the efforts to establish long-term peace. This is explained not only by humanistic, but also by completely pragmatic considerations.

The delegation of South Ossetia held bilateral consultations with the co-chairs of the Geneva discussions at the 41st round of international discussions on security in Transcaucasia.
As reported by the press service by the Presidential Envoy of the RSO for post-conflict settlement, "there were also held tripartite consultations of the delegation of the Republic of South Ossetia with the delegations of the Russian Federation and Abkhazia. The focus of the round is to prepare a legally binding document on the non-use of force by Georgia against South Ossetia and Abkhazia".

South Ossetia will be represented by 60 participants at the World Festival of Youth and Students
Representatives of South Ossetia will take part in the XIX World Festival of Youth and Students, which will be held from October 14 to 22 in Sochi.
As reported to IA "Res" by the head of the delegation, head of the department of republican programs of the committee for youth policy, sports and tourism Valentina Gatikoeva, South Ossetia will be represented by 60 people at the festival.

Assumptions about the impact of the events in Catalonia on the position of Europe towards South Ossetia are illusory, believes an expert of IA "Res" Inal Pliev.

In his opinion, the logic of block solidarity and frank double standards still prevail in the political elites of European countries, which do not allow them to recognize the political and legal basis of the independence of South Ossetia.
