Deployment of international police forces in South Ossetia and Abkhazia is impossible because of absurdity of the question itself which is infringement of independence and sovereignty of the republics.

However, the expert expressed concern about the situation related to penetration of drugs from Georgia to Abkhazia, South Ossetia and the North Caucasus.
"In this regard, in the future I would not exclude the need of deployment of international forces of the Customs Union of Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus in the region to secure their borders and the states-allies, - said Mikhail Chernov. It should be noted, that March, 12 the Georgian Foreign Ministry representative Nino Kalandadze, referring to the U.S. State Department Report on International Strategy for Drug Control in 2012, expressed the need for deployment of international police forces in South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
