Conflict zone South Ossetia
Südossetien erklärte sich 1990 selbsständig und konnte den folgenden Sezessionskrieg gegen die Georgier für sich entscheiden. Zwischen Georgien und der abtrünnigen Region, die den Anschluß an die Russische Förderation fordert, kommt es trotz des Waffenstillstandsabkommens von 1992 immer wieder zu bewaffneten Ausseinandersetzungen.
