Yevgeny Shevchuk is sure that the Russian peacekeepers are the core of the peacekeeping operation ensuring peace in the Dniester region

According to Pridnestrovie's acting foreign minister, the current situation requires active political and diplomatic methods

If the peacekeeping format were to be replaced, the conflicting sides must agree to stop provocative activities against each other. "We don't have such guarantees so far," said the Pridnestrovian co-chair in the Joint Control Commission

According to the Pridnestrovie's party, the incident complicates further work of the institutional body

Yevgeny Shevchuk ranked high the work of KGB officers in 2015

The president instructed the law enforcement services to work out additional by-law measures to safeguard the state's interests in the information space

This is what Yevgeny Shevchuk said at a board meeting of the Committee for State Security (KGB) where the results of the committee's work in 2015 were summed up

Last Thursday, officers of Pridnestrovie's law enforcement authority were stopped and frisked in Varnitsa

However, a number of incidents have decreased in the Security Zone despite the attempts to discredit the peacekeepers according to the Deputy Foreign Minister

At today's JCC meeting the Moldovan delegation refused to approve Russia's draft solution to the problem of freedom of movement in the Security Zone

Also, the issues concerning the materiel and technical support of the military personnel and the financing of the Pridnestrovie's peacekeeping contingent were raised at the meeting between the President and the JCC cochairman from Pridnestrovie

It is Colonel Andrey Zhadin

Besides, the Joint Control Commission has approved Russia's new military observer

Its task is to propose extra steps to minimise crisis implications in the short run. Such an assignment was given by the president following a meeting of the Security Council
