The Russian Federation delegation to the Joint Control Commission reiterated <\/strong>its compromise proposal to examine the situation created by installing border posts in the <\/strong>Transnistrian<\/strong> Security Zone. The Transnistrian delegation rejected the idea, which was submitted for the fourth consecutive month and is supported by representatives of Moldova, Ukraine and the OSCE Mission to Moldova. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This decision, which the Russian delegation reiterated on September 12, would allow for addressing some acute issues, as well as overcoming the blockade formed after the rejection of a series of weekly reports during the periods in which there were identified abuses by Transnistrian structures, especially in August this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recall that at the meeting on July 25 (the last one before the planned break in August), our delegation intervened with a commitment project on refraining from committing violations that would tense the situation in the Security Zone, which was not supported by the Transnistrian side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An eloquent example of the non-observance of the agreements and protocols in force is the challenges organized by the alleged Transnistrian security structures near the town of Pohrebea in Dubasari district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 31, representatives of the Transnistria region\u2019s force structures took new provocative actions in the central sector of the Security Zone. Near a terrain where land cultivation was taking place, an on-duty police officer from Co\u0219ni\u021ba observed a group of four individuals dressed in military field uniforms and badges bearing the inscription \u201cborder patrol\u201d in Russian (\u043f\u043e\u0433\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0447\u043d\u044b\u0435 \u0432\u043e\u0439\u0441\u043a\u0430<\/em>). <\/em>According to their epaulets, the individuals held the military ranks of lieutenant colonel, major, captain, and major platooneer. These so-called officers refused to identify themselves, stating that they had come to stop illegal land cultivation work on the administrative territory under the jurisdiction of the Transnistrian authorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
