On May 6, the de facto Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Tskhinvali region, Oleg Gagloyev, met with his Russian “counterpart,” Anton Kotyakov.

At the meeting, the parties signed a protocol on amendments to the socio-economic development program between Russia and the de facto republic that was developed by the Russian government for 2022-2025. According to the amendments, the new protocol provides for an increase in wages for a separate category of “state and municipal” employees in the region. In particular, for doctors, teachers, and representatives of science and culture.
