Acting in a spirit of goodwill, the Russian side has relocated deep into South Ossetia the border post that was for two years in disputed territory near the village of Perevi (western border of South Ossetia with Georgia).
This was preceded by serious preparation. Under the auspices of Russia’s FSB Border Service, a 10-plus km bypass road had been built in difficult mountain terrain to connect the Karzmanskoye Gorge to the rest of South Ossetia. It is important in supplying the local Ossetian population.
