According to him, today's meeting was initiated by the South Ossetian side in connection with the provocations taken place last ten days at the state border between South Ossetia and Georgia.
"During the meeting we once again reminded all the participants of the conscious firing of the border markers, - said Gagloyty. - We said that this course resulted in the unacceptable and offensive provocations that took place the last ten days. In the case of recurrence of such acts on the adjacent territory, will be followed an appropriate response. "
According to Gagloyty, at the suggestion of representatives of the international organizations, the participants of the meeting expressed their readiness to work for maintaining peace in the region.
"Some interest was aroused by the statement of one of the representatives of international organizations, who said that the population of the area adjacent to South Ossetia had expressed dissatisfaction with the actions with participation of the civil and political sector of Georgia.

Georgia once again carried out a series of provocations at the state border of South Ossetia, trying to attract attention of its allies, said today the President of South Ossetia Leonid Tibilov at a meeting with heads of security, defence and law enforcement agencies, reported IA "Res" presidential spokesman Ghana Yanovskaya.
According to the President of South Ossetia Leonid Tibilov, last week were committed serious violations by Georgia, carried out provocations at the state border of South Ossetia.
"These illegal actions of the Georgian authorities once again proved that the Georgian leadership is still unable to accept the fact that there is a sovereign independent state of the Republic of South Ossetia, with its state border," - said the head of state.
Leonid Tibilov added that "the South Ossetian leadership intends to continue to equip the state border of the Republic, as repeatedly stated publicly, including "in the framework of the Geneva discussions. "
"Georgian Defence Minister tried to link the illegal situation at the state border between South Ossetia and Georgia with Russia's relations with Georgia. In this regard, I`d like to emphasize that the Russian leadership has no relation to this incident, The South Ossetian side is really engaged and intends to continue to equip its border with the state, with which it has no any relations. We will strengthen and equip the area along the South Ossetian border,"- said the president.
Leonid Tibilov added that "in connection with the events in Ukraine and in other hot regions, the attention of the western patrons and the international community to Georgia has weakened considerably."
"In connection with the planned visit to Georgia by the head of the European Council, Donald Tusk, which the Georgian side would like to bring to the border with the apparent provocative purposes, it was quite a "good " move of the Georgian authorities," - said the head of state.
Today, at the request of the South Ossetian side is under way an extraordinary meeting in the framework of the mechanism for preventing and responding to incidents, the mandate of which includes issues related to security and tranquility in the areas adjacent to the border.
According to the Presidential Envoy of South Ossetia for post-conflict settlement Murat Dzhioev, the actions at the state border of South Ossetia are rowdy and provocative, accompanied by illegal penetration into the territory of the Republic of South Ossetia.
"The South Ossetian border authorities set up the boundary markers solely on the South Ossetian territory, at least 50 meters away from the border line", - he stressed.
The South Ossetian side has already informed of the situation the international mediators at the Geneva discussions on security in Transcaucasia.

South Ossetian President Leonid Tibilov met with the former head of North Ossetia-Alania Taimuraz Mamsurov, who was on a visit to South Ossetia.

In turn, Taimuraz Mamsurov stressed that «he is always glad to come to the Republic, to the fraternal people."

South Ossetian President Leonid Tibilov met with Minister of Foreign Affairs of South Ossetia Kazbulat Tskhovrebov and Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of South Ossetia to the Russian Federation Znaur Gassiev.
As reported to IA "Res" by Presidential press Secretary Ghana Yanovskaya, during the meeting were discussed issues concerning the work of the two agencies, outlined the tasks of implementing the planned course.
The head of the South Ossetian State has stressed that the activities of some of the most important agencies of the Republic should be directed at strengthening of statehood and improving the image of the Republic both in the Russian space and at the international level.
"Every department should work primarily for the benefit of the people and the Republic. Every step must be estimated,"- said Tibilov.
According to the President, it is necessary in the coming days to study the organization of meetings with other ambassadors and representatives of South Ossetia in the countries with which we have established bilateral relations.
During the meeting, Minister of Foreign Affairs of South Ossetia Kazbulat Tskhovrebov has stressed that in the course of the meeting held in his office have been outlined tasks relating to the implementation of the general policy of the Republic. During the extended meeting, the new Ambassador of South Ossetia to the Russian Federation was introduced to the Foreign Ministry staff.
"In the course of the meeting were also assigned tasks. The main issue is professional development of the staff of the agency. I received full support and understanding of my colleagues who see what is the burn point and large volume of work", - he said.
According to the Ambassador of South Ossetia to Russia Znaur Gassiev, the team in Moscow is hard-working and will be working to implement the tasks. Today, the work of the Embassy requires optimization, we will be jointly strengthening the positions of South Ossetia ", - the ambassador said.

Information agency "Res" has been monitoring the events at the state border between the Republic of South Ossetia and Georgia, where in recent days Georgian extremists damaged several South Ossetian border markers.
The correspondent of IA "Res" asked the Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy of the RSO for post-conflict settlement Murat Dzhioev to comment on the situation:
During the last three days the representatives of the Georgian non-governmental organizations damaged three South Ossetian border markers along the border between South Ossetia and Georgia in the areas of the South Ossetian and Georgian villages of Orchosan and Tsitelubani.
These actions are rowdy and provocative, accompanied by illegal penetration into the territory of the Republic of South Ossetia. I`d like to remind that the South Ossetian border authorities set up these boundary markers solely on the South Ossetian territory, at least 50 meters away from the border line.
Instead of stopping the illegal actions of the NGO`s from Tbilisi, like "Free zone" and other cities, clearly provoking the aggravation of the situation, the Georgian authorities have launched anti-Russian hysteria, accusing it of transferring border markers deep into the Georgian territory.
The South Ossetian side has repeatedly stated that Russian border guards, controlling the protection of the state border of South Ossetia, in accordance with the bilateral agreement, are not engaged in demarcation and delimitation of the state border. All work to set up border markers, as well as the relevant engineering structures is carried out by the South Ossetian border agency. Any claims against Russia are farfetched, unfounded and politically engaged.
Instead of conducting a real dialogue with South Ossetia, the authorities of which have repeatedly offered to start joint work on delimitation and demarcation of the state border, the official Tbilisi continues to "ignore" the existing realities, throwing accusations against Russia and appealing to its Western patrons.
In general, the hysteria that has broken out again in Georgia with regard to the boundary can be described as another "summer aggravation" disease. Similar actions involving "broad international attention" and accompanied by various bacchanalia, were held in previous years along the border - in the area of the villages Dietz, Dwan, Goget.
The South Ossetian side believes that all disputes and misunderstandings on the border issue must be resolved peacefully and should be businesslike within the existing formats of communication. We have informed the international mediators at the Geneva discussions on security in Transcaucasia, and offered to hold an extraordinary meeting of the Mechanisms to prevent and respond to incidents, the mandate of which includes issues related to security and tranquility in the areas adjacent to the border.
