Recently the leadership of Georgia has declared publicly about "the policy of opened doors" in relations with the people of North Caucasus. It has been constantly affirming that the citizens of North-Ossetian republics have been given a right to cross the territory of Georgia without visa. Also, in the same way the citizens of Georgia can arrive in North Caucasus without visas, if they have Russian citizenship. And if they have not the citizenship - only with the visas.

The round table "Realization of the scheme of territorial planning (STP) and the plan of socio-economic development of RSO – is a guarantee of the successful building of the foundation of the political system in the Republic" took place in Tskhinval.
The Round table has been organized by the South-Ossetian branch of the Institute of the Eurasian researches and the Republican political party "Unity".

The South Ossetian side is going to firmly raise the issue of elaboration of legally binding non-use of force document at the forthcoming 15th round of international diccussions on security in the South Caucasus, Boris Chochiev, the head of the South Ossetian Delegation to the discussions, Special Representative for Post-Conflict Settlement, told IA RES.
“After the 2.5 years of the discussions, there no developments in the elaboration of the draft legally binding document on non-use of force”, noted Chochiev.

The chairman of the People's party of RSO Kaximir Pliev held a working meeting with the representatives of Leningor primary party organization headed by David Eloev, as IA "RES" was informed by the press-service of the PP RSO.

The hysteria of the antigovernmental unrests, accompanied by raids, mass fights and other unlawful actions, in theory, may spread also to the Transcaucasian republics, with the exception of South Ossetia and Ankhazia. This statement was made by Yana Amelina, head of the Caucasian sector of the Kazan Center of regional and ethno-religious studies, while commenting to IA "RES" on the possibility of repetition of the Near-Eastern scenario in Transcaucasus.
"All Transcaucasian states have a huge internal conflict potential, - said Amelina. – Mass discontent of the population with one or another action of the government or the leadership on the whole are characteristic for them, as well as with the corruption pierced society (we are now talking about Georia, though its leadership is trying naively to popularize Christmas-tale image of this state, which had allegedly got rid of this social evil), a vast gap between the poor and the rich layers of society in the incomes and the opportunities for self-actualization, as well as other social pests, creating the situation on revolution".

A round table "Implementation of the territory planning layout and the plan of socio-economic development of South Ossetia – guaranty of successfully laid foundation of the Republic's statehood" will take place today in the capital of the Republic of South Ossetia, Tskhinval.
The activity will be organized by the South Ossetian branch office of the Institute of Eurasia Studies and the Republican party "Edinstvo".
