Переговоры в рамках женевских дискуссий

The co-chairs of the Geneva discussions will advocate for preserving Geneva as a platform for negotiations. This was stated to the media by the UN co-chair Cihan Sultanoglu.

On Tuesday, a delegation of the co-chairs of the Geneva discussions arrived in the South Ossetian capital, including the UN, OSCE and the EU representatives.

It should be reminded that at the meeting between Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and the head of the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry Akhsar Dzhioev, the possible transfer of the Geneva discussions to another venue was discussed.

The Geneva Discussions on Security and Stability in Transcaucasia have proven their importance over the 16 years of their operation as a very useful mechanism not only in communication between the parties, but also as a mechanism for ensuring stability, ensuring the direct dialogue between Tskhinval and Tbilisi.

This was stated on Tuesday by the head of the South Ossetian delegation, State Advisor to President Konstantin Kochiev at the meeting with the co-chairs of the Geneva Discussions in Tskhinval.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov plans to discuss at the meeting with the South Ossetian Foreign Minister Akhsar Dzhioev where it would be more convenient to hold discussions on security and stability in the Transcaucasia, which had previously been held in Geneva.

"We are working closely with our Abkhaz friends within the framework of consultations on Transcaucasia which until recently were held in Geneva. Now we will see where it would be more convenient to organize such meetings," Lavrov said at the beginning of talks with his South Ossetian counterpart.

It is quite difficult to confirm the affiliation of unmanned aerial vehicles violating the airspace of South Ossetia, however, such facts are being monitored, the head of the South Ossetian delegation to the IPRM, Yegor Kochiev, has noted in a comment to journalists.

"When we report on the hotline about the fact of the aircraft flight and the Georgian side tries to identify it, the drone leaves the airspace of South Ossetia, or lands, possibly on the territory of Georgia, accordingly, it is quite difficult to confirm the fact of the flight," Kochiev said.

The removal of the illegal Georgian police checkpoint from the territory of the village of Uista in South Ossetia has once again become one of the points of discussion within the framework of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism (IPRM) format. This was reported to the representatives of the mass media by Deputy Plenipotentiary Representative of President of the Republic of South Ossetia for Post-Conflict Settlement, the head of the South Ossetian delegation to the IPRM Egor Kochiev.

The 121st meeting was held in the border village of Ergnet on Thursday.

Since the last meeting within the framework of the IPRM, 6 cases of violation of the state border of South Ossetia have been recorded. This was reported to the media following the 121st meeting within the format of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanisms (IPRM) by Deputy Plenipotentiary Representative of President of the Republic of South Ossetia for Post-Conflict Settlement, the head of the South Ossetian delegation at the meetings Egor Kochiev.

On the border of South Ossetia with Georgia, since the previous meeting within the framework of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanisms, no violations have been recorded by the Georgian police and the European Union Observer Mission, the head of the South Ossetian delegation at the meetings within the IPRM, Egor Kochiev, told reporters.

He has noted that the past period was quite calm - there were a minimum of violations of the state border, as well as the detentions.

At the next round of Geneva discussions, the South Ossetian delegation stated the need to significantly intensify еру work to clarify the fate of the missing and called on the Georgian party to take practical steps to solve this problem. This was reported by the press service of the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry.

On June 25-26, 2024, the 61st round of International Discussions on Security and Stability in Transcaucasia, held in accordance with the Medvedev-Sarkozy agreements of August 12 and September 8, 2008, took place in Geneva.

Negotiations within the framework of the Geneva discussions

After Georgia’s attack on South Ossetia in 2008 and forcing the aggressor to peace, the efforts of the South Ossetian party were aimed at ensuring security and stability in the Republic. This was stated by the head of the South Ossetian delegation, State Advisor to the President Konstantin Kochiev at the meeting of the co-chairs of the Geneva discussions in Tskhinval.

The co-chairs of the Geneva discussions arrived in the Republic on Tuesday.

The flights of unmanned aerial vehicles, which continue to violate the airspace of the Republic, were raised by the South Ossetian party as part of the regular meeting in the format of Incident Prevention and Response Mechanisms.

The head of the South Ossetian delegation, Yegor Kochiev, told reporters about this, commenting on the results of the 119th meeting in the village of Ergnet.
