Bendery, May 3. /Novosti Pridnestrovya/. The Joint Control Commission (JCC) considered and took into account a report on the situation in the Security Zone during a regular meeting. The military said that no aggravation of the situation had been recorded.
"The military observers have carried out a large amount of work. According to the report, the situation in the Security Zone is under total control. This is the main result of the peacekeeping operation," Vasily Vakarchuk, a member of the Pridnestrovian delegation to the JCC, said.
The commission also approved the appointment of a new permanent expert from Moldova.
The sides continued discussing the provision of security in the vicinity of the Bychok-Gura Bicului bridge.
However, the delegations stuck to their previous positions: the Moldovan representatives advocate the complete removal of law enforcement posts, while the Pridnestrovian delegation notes that this issue is not within the JCC's jurisdiction.
"The presence of the posts makes it possible to identify and suppress unlawful activities of a certain category of the population. Pridnestrovie, as well as Moldova, has the right to ensure its security," underscored Vasiliy Vakarchuk.
