“South Ossetia is not going to allow international monitors at its border,” Eduard Kokoity, de-facto leader of the so-called South Ossetia told InterFax.

“We have declared our position several times and we are not going to change it,” Kokoity added.

As a result of long negotiations, Georgian and Russian parties accepted the compromise proposal of Switzerland.
