"Georgia's military have tended to attack and fire at South Ossetian check points, block traffic on the Trans-Caucasus motor road and deny vehicles with Russian and South Ossetian plate numbers passage to a whole series of towns and villages in South Ossetia recently," the ministry said.
Georgia, the ministry pointed out, also continues to accuse Russian peacekeepers in the conflict zone of involvement in criminal activities, including kidnapping and arms trafficking.
The ministry said Georgia's Interior Minister Vano Merabishvili had gone as far as promising to either bring the South Ossetian leaders to account "for the crimes they committed" or "they will not be found among the living".
"This looks very much like calling for assassinations," the ministry said.
Moscow said Georgia was simultaneously working to obtain approval from the countries involved for its settlement plan and urged for measures to raise confidence between Georgia and South Ossetia.
The Georgian-South Ossetian conflict began in the early 1990s when Georgia abolished South Ossetia's autonomous status. In 1992, former Russian and Georgian presidents Boris Yeltsin and Eduard Shevardnadze signed the Dagomys agreement, which ensued in a cease-fire, the deployment of peacekeepers to the conflict zone and the formation of the Joint Control Commission, including Georgia, South Ossetia, Russia and North Ossetia.
