There are five crossing points between South Ossetia and Tbilisi controlled Georgia, of which three can be considered "general" crossing points: Sinaguri, Karzmani and Akhalgori/Odzisi. They have become target of whimsical closures in recent years, and have been mostly closed since fall 2019. Furthermore, Ergneti is only used for emergency situations (such as medical aid) or transfer of arrested people. Zardiantkari-Khelchua was opened in October 2015 as a "simplified" crossing point for a dozen local residents in order to access their farmland on the other side of the ABL.Since 2018 the Akhalgori/Odzisi (or "Razdakhan") crossing is a so called "customs checkpoint". An obvious attempt of South Ossetia to establish an "(international) state border". This is the mostly used crossing due to its proximity to Tbilisi, with roughly 400 civilians passing per day under normal circumstances according to European Union Monitoring Mission (EUMM) sources.
