March 6, 1993 - The Supreme Council of North Ossetia voted to adopt a resolution recognizing the Republic of South Ossetia. This decision was of great symbolic importance, demonstrating the unity of the peoples of Ossetia and its firm intention to seek the restoration of historical justice. It gave a powerful impetus to the development of integration processes between both parts of Ossetia.
The start has been made. The Republic was later recognized by Transnistria, Abkhazia and Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2008, Russia recognized the independence of South Ossetia, and after Nicaragua, Venezuela, Nauru, Syria.

March 6, 2008 - the parliaments of North and South Ossetia at a joint meeting adopted an appeal to the Federation Council and the State Duma of the Russian Federation on the recognition of South Ossetia’s independence.
"We are asking you to consider the recognition by the Russian Federation of the independence of the Republic of South Ossetia," the statement says.
In the text of the appeal, parliamentarians referred to the precedent of Kosovo, after which, in their opinion, "the possibility of resolving regional conflicts is based not only on the principles of territorial integrity."
"Especially when applied to South Ossetia, the principle of territorial integrity does not contradict the nation’s right to self-determination, since the legal and factual foundations of Georgia’s sovereignty in South Ossetia do not exist," the statement says.
