Eight questions have been adopted to be on the agenda of the next meeting within the frames of the Mechanisms on prevention and reaction on incidents (MPRI). It has been reported IA "Res" at the office of the Plenipotentiary of the President of the RSO on questions of the post conflict settlement. It has been noted there that the meeting was conducted by Mr. Yussi Saressalo - a Deputy of the Mission of the EU observers who was appointed instead of Mr. Hansyorg Haber, whose term of power has been expired this year. Instead of the co-chairman of Geneva debates from OSCE Mr. Giedrius Chekuolis, the co-leading of the meeting was a secretary of OSCE Mr. Donatas Butkhus. As reported by the acting leader of the working group within the frames of MPRI from South Ossetia Guram Sobaev; the participants of the meeting have traditionally surveyed the incidents, which took place beyond both sides of the boundary of South Ossetia and Georgia, in particular, it was being discussed a question about the detained citizens of Georgia who violated the border of the RSO. "Three main questions have been emphasized in the course of the meeting: about the fate of the detained persons for both sides, the exit permit, in exclusive cases, to the place of incidents for confirming or rejecting the facts of violating the boundary of the RSO with the representatives of the Border Management of the Federal Security Service (FSS) of the RF in the RSO, the Border Service of the Committee of the State Security of the RSO and also the representatives of the Mission of the Observers of the European Union, as well as a question of providing safety in the area close to the boundary of South Ossetia and Georgia during the agricultural works ", - he has emphasized.
According to Sobaev, the discussion was rather tense, because there were some discords between the positions of the both sides. "However, we`ve come to some consensus – to continue studying the question of the detainees and by hot line send the list of persons who are liable to be mutually transferred, without waiting for the next meeting", - has noted Sobaev. He has also said that concerning the second question the georgian side did not agree with the south-ossetian suggestion, in turn, having offered to admit their own representatives to the actions being undertaken on the territory of South Ossetia, but he has got the motivated refusal. What about the issue of the agricultural works on the land lots located along the boundary, here the georgian side has raised a question about admitting the georgian farmers to the cultivated area, ostensibly belonging to them. They have emphasized, that these land lots turned out to be beyond Georgia after demarcating the boundary. "This question has been rejected explicitly by the south-ossetian side. We have declared that the state boundary exists according to the relevant legislative acts. We have also indicated that this question is outside the competence of the MPRI, and the safety of people cultivating their own land lots located along the boundary has been already confirmed by several examples, which we have proclaimed at the meeting", - has explained Sobaev. The rest of the questions, according to Sobaev, were of informational nature. Sobaev has also reported that the participants of the meeting within the framework of MPRI by request of the close relatives of the missing citizens of South Ossetia -Khugaev, Khachirov and Pliev - met with them at the end of the meeting. "The relatives wanted to meet with all the participants of the meeting, including the representative of Georgia. Unfortunately, the georgian side declined to meet with them", - has defined Sobaev. The next meeting within the framework of the MPRI will take place in the village Dvani (Georgia) on June 17, 2011. We shall note that the next meeting within the frames of the Mechanisms on prevention and reaction on the incidents (MPRI) has taken place the day before on the boundary of South Ossetia and Georgia in the village Dvani (Georgia).
