The meeting of the Joint Control Commission convened in Bender on January 27, 2022, has had current issues concerning the situation in the Security Zone on its agenda.
Additional arguments on illegal actions allowed in the Security Zone by the force structures from the Transnistrian region have been presented in an address of the delegation of the Republic of Moldova to the other components of the Commission. The document mainly refers to the multiple abuses of the so-called ”border guards”, which discredit the concept of peacekeeping operation.
On the issue of streamlining the existing Security Zone monitoring process, which has been constantly addressed lately by Chisinau and rejected by Tiraspol, the OSCE Mission representatives to the Commission have announced their readiness to participate in the drafting of a new mechanism, in the event of a consensual decision of the sides.
With regard to the training process within the Mixed Peacekeeping Forces, in order to exclude conducting trainings in the proximity of the peacekeeping checkpoints, the delegation of the Republic of Moldova has intervened with the proposal to order the Joint Military Command to develop some regulations so that the military personnel would use to this purpose the permanent deployment points of peacekeeping military units or training centers outside the Security Zone.
Decisions taken during the meeting include the approval of several weekly reports on the situation in the Security Zone, the resumption of working groups meetings, the taking of additional anti-COVID-19 measures to protect the personnel and ensure uninterrupted work in the Mixed Peacekeeping Forces.
