Russian border-guards had presented the population in South Ossetia with another holiday in May, RSO president Eduard Kokoity told journalists in Tskhinval. "Russian border-guards arrived in South Ossetia after the 30 April agreement signing and are now settling down. I would like to emphasize the professionalism of Russian border-guards. The first few days of the group which arrived in South Ossetia and their contacts with the population are worth praising," he said.
Eduard Kokoity underlined that "the Russian border-guards provide any possible assistance to population in remote villages, as well as they professionally and effectively equip the state border of South Ossetia".
"The agreement signed in Moscow gives more guarantees to follow the implementation of Madvedev-Sarkozy agreement. The most important is stability in the region. The presence of Russian border-guards at the South Ossetian and Abkhazia borders will promote stabilization of the situation in the Caucasus", he added.
