The 170 Grigoriopol children were able to pass through the checkpoint across the Nistru on their way back home without incidents, despite being threatened earlier today that they wouldn't be allowed to do so. The children, who study at the lyceum Stefan cel Mare, were commuting to classes to the western side of the Nistru on four buses when they were stopped at a checkpoint by Transnistrian militsiya. They were allowed to pass only after the problem was communicated to authorities in Chisinau and to the media. Even so, the lyceum's principal Eleonora Cercavschi said the militsiya threatened that they wouldn't be allowed back to Grigoriopol. “Now we've able to return without impediments. We'll see how things go tomorrow. We are making this trip every day”, said Cercavschi. The students at the lyceum Stefan cel Mare, one of the eight Romanian-language schools on the eastern side of the Nistru, have been forced to commute 30 kilometers every day to Dorotcaia village on the western bank since they were evicted from their Grigoriopol building in July 2004.
