The security bodies of the Transnistrian region will not limit themselves to the actions taken until now in the Security Zone, the Moldovan delegation to the Joint Control Commission (JCC) says in a communiqué. The steps taken to prevent the Moldovan police officers in uniform from moving through Bender and the attempt to set up additional checkpoints near Varnita village are described by the delegation as provocative, IPN reports.
The Moldovan side insists on the creation of a working group for verifying and monitoring the situation in the Security Zone. It calls on all the sides to obey the decisions taken earlier so as not to admit provocations. Earlier, acting Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration Eugen Carpov, in a meeting with the Special Representative of the OSCE Chairperson for protracted conflicts Andrii Deshchytsia, also underlined the necessity of instituting a monitoring mission in the Security Zone.
The Transnistrian administration banned the Moldovan policeman from moving via Bender in uniform and demanded that the two Moldovan-administered penitentiaries in Bender be freed as there are representatives of the Moldovan police bodies there not detainees. Eugen Carpov denied these statements and asked the representatives of the OSCE to organize a verification mission to the penitentiaries to see that the information is not correct.
