Since the last meeting in the MPRI format, 28 people have been detained, of which 15 are citizens of Georgia, told journalists the South Ossetian Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy for post-conflict settlement Murat Dzhioev after the meeting in the framework of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanisms (IPRM).
The meeting took place in the village of Ergneti.
According to him, many citizens violate the border by lack of information.
"Therefore, we offer our Georgian colleagues to discuss issues related to the delimitation and demarcation of the border, and to determine the most vulnerable places at the MPRI level so that local residents should know about the border line," Dzhioev stressed.
The plenipotentiary has noted that the parties discussed the damage of the border marks.
"We showed the participants of the meeting photo materials of the damaged border marks and appealed to the Georgian side to prevent such unpleasant incidents. This happened in those days when Georgian students rallied along the border. No one is interested in escalation of tension on the border, "Dzhioev said.
The Presidential Envoy has stressed that along the state border the South Ossetian side is conducting fire- prevention ploughing in order to avoid fires that arise as a result of ignition of grass.
"These are measures to prevent the spreading of fire on the territory of another state," he said.
The South Ossetian side called on the Georgian one to ensure the agricultural works to be carried out only on the territory of their country. "
