Over the past 20 years Ossetiahas achieved much. Ossetian people survived in several wars. We received a second nation-state - the Republic of South Ossetia. Our state has been recognized by the great Russia. However, we must face the truth. Position of Ossetia remains shaky. We have not built a solid and stable political system, we have destroyed the remnants of the Soviet economy and the new economy is not built.
Issues of foreign and domestic policy were discussed at a meeting of the Security Council of South Ossetia under the chairmanship of the President of the Republic Leonid Tibilov.
