For South Ossetia, it was the first international treaty in the status of the unrecognized state.
For many years, on the basis of the document between the two countries was established a solid legal basis in the form of bilateral agreements.
There have been great changes in the life of the people of South Ossetia, it has become a recognized state; significant changes have taken place in Transnistria. This was the main factor to revise the previous treaty.
The new document is strategic for both countries and brings a new level of our relations. The 22 articles of the treaty contain all aspects of further progressive development of the fraternal peoples.
