The so-called, Foreign Ministry of Tskhinvali separatist regime spreads a statement, where it rejects existence of any negotiations regarding restoration of OSCE mission in Georgian-South Ossetian conflict zone.

“On May 15, the newspaper “Vzgliad” reported about the statement, which was made by OSCE Parliamentary Assembly Human Rights Committee Chairman Matteo Mecacci, about OSCE’s plan to restore its mission in Georgian-Osseitan conflict zone in July. The statement caused indignation in Tskhinvali region. In Tskhinvali region, they heard nothing about this decision of OSCE, as there was no appeal, nor any negotiations with the South Ossetia government is underway” – is said in the statement.        

The so-called Foreign Ministry of the puppet regime states, that after Georgian aggression in 2008 and the “international recognition” of the region, no Georgian-Ossetian conflict zone exists, but we just have to deal with unregulated relations between the two “neighboring states”. “Therefore, it is unclear where is Mr. Matteo Mecacci going to place the mission” – the statement says.     

There is also an explanation, that after 2008 August, “there could not and does not work South Ossetia’s old mandate, but the new mandate does not exist yet. Although, there are serious complaints regarding OSCE Mission’s activities and its position, the South Ossetia has appealed to the leadership of OSCE not once for discussing future relations foreseeing the emerging realities after 2008 August and recognition of the Republic. However, no positive reaction has been seen from this international organization so far. The authorities of South Ossetia repeatedly stated that we are ready to cooperate with all those international organizations that demonstrates respect towards South Ossetian people and the existed political reality” – is said in the statement of the separatists.
