We are the witnesses of their incapacity to ensure the security and to halt the actions of the paramilitary troops in the Security Zone”, is mentioned in the document. The minister appeals to all the mechanism that activate on the basis of the Agreement from July 21 1992 to undertake urgent actions in order to stave off the infringements in the Security Zone, fact that will contribute to the stabilization of the situation and will prevent the total discrediting of the peace-keeping forces.

The authorities from Tiraspol justify taking hold of the port from the Varnita village by the Transnistrian force structures by the need to stop the theft of its goods. The Transnistrian authorities consider the port a subdivision of the port from Bender that is subordinated to the Transnistrian regime. The authorities from Chisinau state the port is held on lease by a Moldavian commercial firm; it does not submit to the Bender port and is under the Moldavian jurisdiction as the entire Varnita village.
