JCC Meeting Planned in Tskhinvali

Special session of the quadripartite Joint Control Commission (JCC), involving representatives of the Georgian, Russian, South Ossetian and Russia?s North Ossetian sides, will be held on January 24 in Tskhinvali to discuss recent tensions in the conflict zone, which sparked after series of kidnappings organized by the both sides.

?The South Ossetian side offered other members of the JCC to gather in Tskhinvali, as the situation in the [breakaway South Ossetian] Republic remains strained,? Irina Gagloeva, a spokesperson of the South Ossetian government told RIA Novosti news agency on January 23.
