On July 18, Chairperson-in-Office of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE and Swiss President Didier Burkhalter said that OSCE would play an active role in the investigation of commercial aircraft accident in eastern Ukraine.
In the interview with Swiss TV and Radio Broadcasting company RTS, he
said that OSCE didn’t stop at words and had started acting. OSCE has a
group consisting of 30 observers, who are currently trying to reach the
location of the accident.
According to Burkhalter, OSCE representatives are talking to
militants regarding the possibility of creating a humanitarian corridor
so that OSCE observers could get to the accident site.
The OSCE is also looking into the possibility of retrieving the
flight data recorders, which are apparently in the separatists’ hands.
In addition, the organization is ready to send experts to help Ukrainian government to identify the victims, Burkhalter added.
