Jonjoli, or bladdernut, is a shrub used for cooking in Georgia. It grows in the wild in many areas in Caucasus, including places adjacent to the disputed border line and can be sold in the markets.
Usually Russian troops deployed in Georgia’s breakaway region of South Ossetia serve as border guards and hand detainees over to the Tskhinvali authorities. The latter impose fines to the detainees for “illegally crossing the state border” totaling 2,000 Russian rubles (USD 30) and usually release after several days.
