The format within the framework of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanisms (IPRM) will work as usual, despite the current situation in the world, said the head of the South Ossetian delegation, Deputy Plenipotentiary Representative for Post-Conflict Settlement Egor Kochiev.
According to the head of the South Ossetian delegation, the date of the next round of April 12 was approved at the last IPRM meeting, and there is no information about the changes yet.
“The format of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism is intended to consider the issues related to security on the state border of South Ossetia with Georgia. In addition, the hotline is actively working, and in the event of any incident, we contact our colleagues on the hotline,” he said.
Egor Kochiev has added that the IPRM format is necessary, it is designed to resolve the issues on both sides of the state border.
Each time, the IPRM format is highly appreciated by the co-chairs of the Geneva discussions, and they note the importance of the "hot line" operating under the IPRM in maintaining stability and resolving many border issues.
Meetings in the IPRM format are held within the framework of the Geneva discussions on security in the Caucasus. The dialogue is attended by representatives of South Ossetia, Russia, Georgia, the European Union and the OSCE.
