The situation around the borders of South Ossetia remains rather tense, and it is the Georgian side that deliberately creates this situation.

At the same time, the participants in the discussions noted that the situation in the Republic remained stable for the period since the last round, there were no excesses that could cause extreme concern.

The Georgian delegation at the Geneva discussions is trying to transfer the conversation into the Georgian-Russian plane, and therefore the South Ossetian delegation at every round reminds that the discussions are held because Georgia attacked South Ossetia, the head of the South Ossetian delegation, at the Geneva discussions Murat Dzhioev said at a briefing on Tuesday, summing up the 48th round.
