South Ossetia's PM resigns, clearing the way for a Russian technocrat to drive 'integration'

The prime minister of breakaway South Ossetia has resigned, opening the way for a Russian technocrat to lead closer 'integration' with Moscow. We are awaiting the response of Georgia and Western governments, which view such moves as creeping annexation of Georgian territory.
