Members of the de facto leadership of Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) from Georgia’s Russia-occupied region say that they will continue the erection of illegal barbed-wire-fences, which is strongly condemned by the central Georgian government.

The Georgian government has demanded the suspension of the process, which stirs tension and humanitarian problems, during the 94th Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism (IPRM) meeting held in the village of Ergneti earlier today.

We will continue the process as it is important for making the state border,” Egor Kochiev from the de facto leadership said after the meeting.
