On 8 December 2009, the tenth meeting of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism (IPRM), chaired by the United Nations, was held in Gali.
Participants had an in-depth discussion on a number of alleged incidents related to crossings. Clarifications on current rules and practices were given. In this connection, concerns were raised regarding the establishment of a fence along the Inguri river.
The alleged over-flights by UAVs were also discussed. A request to stop these was made with a view to avoid unnecessary confrontation.
