About the border
In late August, South Ossetia reported that the Georgian police had put up a roadblock on the territory of the Republic near the village of Tsnelis in Znaur district. The authorities of South Ossetia demanded that Georgia remove the police post by August 30, otherwise they promised to take "legal means to protect the population from emerging threats," but Georgia continued to equip roasblock. Later, the South Ossetian border guards occupied a height above the Georgian police checkpoint and began to equip their posts as part of a special humanitarian operation to thwart Georgian attempts to establish control over part of South Ossetian territory.
The situation is being discussed at technical meetings of the format of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism with the participation of representatives of the OSCE, EU and the Russian Federation, but so far to no avail.
