The de-facto deputies of the South Ossetian parliament could not agree on whether to include in agenda the issue of the state commission results on the "border" with Georgia. The commission proposed to include more territories in South Ossetia than indicated on the previous maps.

In August, 14 opposition MPs initiated a motion of no confidence in the government. They stated that the authorities did not fulfil their promises to index salaries and share the results of the audit of budget spending. The parliamentarians were not familiarised with the materials of the check, but the vote of no confidence did not obtain the required number of votes. 14 deputies voted for and 18 against.

The first session of the South Ossetian parliament after the autumn holidays was disrupted on 20 November. The deputies could not agree on the agenda. They argued about considering the interim results of the work of the state commission on the delimitation and demarcation of the border with Georgia. In total, six issues were indicated on the agenda, including the draft law on amendments to the state budget for 2021 and amendments to the budget of the Pension Fund.

Earlier, in November 2019, disagreements between the speaker of parliament and a group of deputies demanding consideration of their initiative on a vote of no confidence for the heads of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Justice paralyzed the work of the de-facto South Ossetian parliament. This did not allow consideration of the bill on amendments to the budget. Then the work of the South Ossetian parliament was completely paralysed from autumn 2020 to February. Opposition MPs boycotted the meeting, insisting on an investigation into the death of Inal Dzhabiev. The opposition and protesters did not achieve their goals.

The deputies, who demanded the inclusion of commission on delimitation and demarcation of the border findings, wanted to voice several questions addressed to separatist President Anatoly Bibilov. In particular, the opposition believes that the map that Bibilov submitted to the parliament in 2019 does not correspond to the interests of South Ossetia.

At the same time, the meeting of the state commission on delimitation and demarcation of the border was held in parliament on November 17. The working group of the commission presented a draft map of the border of South Ossetia, developed in accordance with the Decree on the formation of the Autonomous Region of South Ossetia dated April 22, 1922. The members of the commission drew attention to the significant differences between this map and the borderline defined by the previous delimitation commission. "The discrepancy between the data in the above documents along the entire perimeter of the state border of South Ossetia with Georgia is a total of more than 200 square kilometres to the detriment of the legitimate territorial interests of the republic," the head of the commission, MP Garry Muldarov highlighted.
