OSCE
OSCE teams led by the Personal Representative of the OSCE
Chairman-in-Office, Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk, took part in a
monitoring exercise on the southern part of the Line of Contact.
Following the usual exchange of security guarantees by local
commanders on both sides of the Line of Contact, members of both OSCE
teams heard shooting as they approached their observation points. It
was not possible to determine from where the shots were fired. Safety
and security concerns prompted the Personal Representative to abandon
the exercise, The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs and the Personal
Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office said in a statement.
The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group are aware that all those
involved in facilitating OSCE monitoring exercises show a high degree
of professionalism. They believe that this exceptional and regrettable
incident undermines the work of these individuals, and of the Personal
Representative and his team, as well as the ceasefire agreement of May
1994. The Co-Chairs urge the relevant authorities to investigate it
thoroughly and impartially.
