Joint Control Commission considered situation in Security Zone

Chisinau, May 20 / MOLDPRES /- Joint Control Commission met on 19 May 2022 in Bender, resuming examination of the situation in the Security Zone and the way in which the basic acts of the peacekeeping operation on the Dniester River are observed, the Office for Reintegration Policies has reported.

The focus was on the abusive detention, on April 14, of the Moldovan delegation by the so-called "border guards" at the illegal post at the entrance to the city of Bender.

The incident is reflected in the Joint Military Command Report, on which the Commission is to take a decision, ensuring the exclusion of such cases in the future for not only officials but also other citizens traveling through the Security Zone.

The debates were held both in an enlarged format with the participation of all JCC members and at the level of joint co-chairs with representatives of Ukraine and the OSCE Mission.

However, disagreements were not overcome at yesterday's meeting, and the principle of consensus did not allow the Commission to take a relevant decision.

The sides agreed that they would return to the matter in a week.
