In the fall of 2023 South Ossetia saw a massive increase in price for gasoline and other petroleum products. Alan Tekhov claimed that the 261.8% increase in import export rates was not impacting the price of petroleum products, and that the cause of the increase was due to the government enforcing the 20% value-added tax at the South Ossetian-Russian border.

[4] Kvezerov also advocates for reducing customs and duties imposed on people traveling from Russia to South Ossetia. [5]

Kvezerov was named chairman of the parliamentary the accounting commission. [6] Due to this Kvezerov is frequently involved in committees and negotiations revolving around the state budget and allocation of state resources. [7] In 2023, as Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Economics, Small Business, and Agriculture, Kvezerov went on a state visit to Abkhazia during their Victory Day Parades exchanging gifts with Abkhazian lawmakers. [8] Kvezerov also served on the committee on foreign policy and inter-parliamentary relations, approving a motion to increase coopreation with the Syrian People's Assembly. [9]
