The first meeting of the year in the IPRM format is taking place on the border of South Ossetia and Georgia.
The main issue that the South Ossetian party has been raising for several years is the removal of the illegal Georgian police post set up on the territory of South Ossetia at the end of August 2019.
The meeting will consider incidents and possible provocations that have occurred since the previous meeting.
The IPRM format considers the issues related to security on the state border of South Ossetia and Georgia. In addition, a hotline is actively functioning, and in the event of any incident, the parties contact their colleagues.
The meetings in the IPRM format are held within the framework of the Geneva discussions on security in the Caucasus. Representatives of South Ossetia, Russia, Georgia, the European Union and the OSCE take part in the dialogue.
