Reacting to the moving of the Administrative Border Line (ABL) between South Ossetia and the rest of Georgian territory, Jean-Claude Frécon, President of the Congress made a statement. “In March this year, speaking on behalf of the Congress, I strongly condemned the signature of a so-called “alliance and integration treaty” between South Ossetia and Russia. We were convinced that this move could heighten tension in the region and pose a threat to the local populations”- he stated insisting that 'the Congress has always been in favour of establishing regions with a special status which respect the territorial integrity of states. Consequently, the only reasonable solution is for South Ossetia to once again come under the control of the Tbilisi authorities.”
