State Security Service says the already existing Georgian police checkpoint is being moved by several hundred meters in Perevi

According to the State Security Service, the already existing Georgian police checkpoint is being moved by several hundred meters in Perevi. As InterPressNews was told by the State Security Service, crossing the occupation line on this section was possible only for pedestrians and reducing the distance by several hundred meters will be an essential relief for the population.

"In May 2018, all IPRM participants were informed about this. The issue was discussed within several IPRM format mechanisms later too. Preparatory efforts are underway at this stage,” the State Security Service told InterPressNews.

Earlier today, the Ossetain Res agency reported that Alan Tadtaev, de facto parliament speaker of South Ossetia, visited the village of Sinaguri in Java district, where he viewed the construction of the Georgian police checkpoint near the village. According to the agency, locals of Sinaguri complained about the resumption of efforts aimed at opening the Georgian police checkpoint in the suburbs of the village on August 25. The “MPs” are going to study the situation together with the border guards and determine the location of the "border".
