Chisinau, 15 October /MOLDPRES/ - The members of the Joint Control Commission (JCC) held a meeting in Bender today, the Reintegration Policies Bureau has reported.
Moldova’s delegation further insisted on the inclusion on the agenda of urgent problems which jeopardize the situation in the Security Zone.
Moldova’s delegation referred, first of all, to abusive and provocative actions of the so-called mgb (state security ministry), which has no right to be in the zone of responsibility of the Joint Peacekeeping Forces, but which deals with kidnappings of people and limiting the freedom of movement.
Obviously, Tiraspol’s representatives in JCC opposed discussions and taking of an objective attitude towards this subject.
Another aspect refused by the Transnistrian side is an ‘’older’’ problem and deals with the date of 1 May 2019, when Tiraspol introduced ‘’border guards’’ in the Security Zone, empowering them with duties of control over the flow of citizens and transport means.
The participants in the meeting also failed to hear the military command, which is to report on the presence of armed servicemen subordinated to Tiraspol at a mass rally on 27 September 2020, with the infringement of the regime established in the Bender city – district with enhanced security regime.
It is worth being mentioned that, to promote the aforementioned subjects, Moldova’s delegation intervened with certain changes in their formulation and the representatives of the OSCE Mission and Ukraine in JCC backed it.
Nevertheless, the hostile and destructive position of the Transnistrian representatives hindered the reaching of consensus in forming the meeting’s agenda.
As a result, the meeting was postponed for another week and meanwhile, the sides will try to delegate military observers to the Camenca town, in order to document the abusive actions committed by Tiraspol, which openly defies the basic acts of the peacekeeping operation, thus fully discrediting the current peacekeeping mechanism.
