It is known that not a single state, not a single republic can fully exist without law enforcement agencies. Your work may be thankless, but very necessary. I hope that today's interaction will reach a new level and will bring serious results. We are grateful to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The South Ossetian law enforcement agency constantly feels the help and attention of Russian colleagues. The leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia treats South Ossetia with special warmth, and we understand this. I would like to state that you can always count on full assistance on any issue,” the head of state said.
