The next round of the Geneva discussions on Transcaucasia is planned to be held in July this year, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported.

“The next meeting in Geneva is scheduled for July 2019,” the message said on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry, which was published following a consultation in Geneva of this format on April 2-3.

Representatives of Abkhazia, Georgia, South Ossetia and the USA took part in the discussions. Russia was represented at this meeting by Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin.

Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of South Ossetia in the Republic of Nicaragua Narim Kozaev presented his credentials to the President of the Republic of Nicaragua Daniel Ortega, the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic reports.

The official ceremony took place on April 3 at the House of Nations in Managua. Vice-President of Nicaragua, Rosario Murillo, took part in the ceremony of presenting credentials.

For propaganda purposes, official Tbilisi continues to disseminate false statements of its intent to establish and develop comprehensive relations with Russia. However, in fact, we see a completely opposite attitude. Provocative actions of the NGOs controlled by the Georgian authorities, which contribute to further destabilization of the areas bordering South Ossetia, do not stop.

One of the most active NGOs, which is the mouthpiece of the Georgian government in unbridled anti-Russian and anti-Ossetian hysteria, is the so-called "Anti-occupation movement" Strength in unity. "

Russia, South Ossetia and Abkhazia, on the eve of the regular Geneva Discussions that started on April 2 in Switzerland, reaffirmed the relevance of this international format.

The corresponding statements with a small interval sounded by Russian, South Ossetian and Abkhaz diplomats, becoming a kind of response to the recent statement by Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili about the need to create a new international format at a higher political level.

President Anatoly Bibilov received the Deputy Minister of the Russian Federation for the Affairs of the North Caucasus, Igor Koshin, who arrived in Tskhinval on a working visit. According to the presidential press service and the government, the meeting was also attended by the Chairman of the Government Eric Pukhaev, Head of the Presidential Executive Office Igor Kozaev, Deputy Head of the President of the Russian Federation on Border Cooperation Denis Travin, Ambassador of the Russian Federation Marat Kulakhmetov.

The South Ossetian party expects that its proposals for improving the effectiveness of the Geneva discussions on the preparation of a document on non-use of force will receive a positive impetus at the talks in Geneva, said Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy, the head of the South Ossetian delegation in Geneva, Murat Dzhioev.

The Geneva discussions on security and stability in Transcaucasia start on Tuesday, April 2, and will be held for two days.

Five drones at the same time crossed the border of South Ossetia from Georgia and flew to the city of Kvaisa, the head of the South Ossetian delegation Yegor Kochiev told reporters after the official part of the meeting under the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanisms (IPRM).

The South Ossetian party once again raised at the meeting in the framework of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanisms (IPRM) the issue of NATO exercises in Georgia. This was reported to journalists by the head of the South Ossetian delegation in the format of the IPRM, Yegor Kochiev.

Another provocation by Georgia took place near the village of Khurvaleti, said the head of the South Ossetian delegation at the meetings in the framework of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanisms (IPRM), Egor Kochiev.

According to him, thanks to the clear actions of the South Ossetian and Georgian law enforcement agencies, with the mediation of the European Union Monitoring Mission, the matter did not reach a serious incident.

Families of the missing South Ossetian citizens do not intend to speculate on the remains of the Georgian citizens, and they hope that Georgia will respond by indicating the location of our missing citizens, told reporters Lidiya Kudzieva, the Chairman of the public organization“Memory and Hope“.

She has noted that in 2017, in the area of ​​the village of Tamarasheni, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) together with the South Ossetian side exhumed the remains of the citizens buried there who had been lost during the war in August 2008.
