Joint Constitutional Commission
The first two meetings of the Joint Constitutional Commission (JCC) took place in the past two weeks. At the 21 July meeting, the members of the JCC exchanged views on the structure of the new Constitution and talked about the chapter on human rights and liberties. The talks were resumed at the second JCC meeting on 29 July, but went as far as to agree on the structure of the said chapter, its contents to be discussed at subsequent meetings. Experts have noted the tendency of the JCC members to avoid litigious issues and postpone them for the next meeting. In the event of the chapter that is already being examined, such litigious issue might by the one of citizenship, as it is known that the Transnistrians will try to consecrate Transnistrian citizenship in the new Constitution. Under these circumstances, it is little likely that the JCC will conclude the draft of the federal Constitution by the end of 2003, according to the schedule.
Meanwhile, in Tiraspol a series of events took place to celebrate the 11th anniversary of the introduction of Russian peacemaking troops into the region. A declaration of the Joint Control Commission issued on the occasion stated that the peacemaking operation instituted in 1992 and joining Moldovan, Russian and Transnistrian troops has helped overcome the consequences of the war and stabilise the region. Earlier, both the administration in Kremlin and the Transnistrian one have disapproved of the recent initiative of the OSCE Netherlands CiO to pass the peacekeeping operations in Transnistria under the aegis of the EU. Ukraine, though, saluted in principles the initiative, but said it should be agreed by all participants in the conflict resolution process.
