MINSK – The special representative of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in the Trilateral Contact Group (TCG), which mediates the situation in eastern Ukraine, Martin Sajdik described as unacceptable the incidents that happened with the staff of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) in Donbas, and is awaiting relevant reactions from all parties.
Speaking at a briefing after a TCG meeting in Minsk on Wednesday, Sajdik mentioned yesterday’s shell attack on the SMM staff in the breakaway parts of the Donetsk region. Such incidents are unacceptable, Sajdik said.
It is obvious that all parties are responsible for the Mission’s safety and freedom of movement, he said. They must not only respond promptly but also reaffirm their commitment to this principle at the highest political level, the OSCE special representative said.
