PHOTOGRAPHY: Georgia After The War. By Timo Vogt (randbild.de)

Georgian policemen patroling an area at the frontline in Mereti, after witnesses have seen ossetian fighters at the scene. Mereti is located in the so called bufferzone between Gori and Tskhinvali, few days after the withdrawal of the russian forces from the area. The bufferzone was established after a short war in August 2008 as the georgian army assaulted South Ossetia to overthrow the local separatist government.
