Viktor Shanin, the Russian cochairman of the Joint Control Commission (JCC), accused Moldova of attempting to deliberately torpedo the peacekeeping operation. In a statement on 23 June Shanin referred to the failure of Moldova's JCC delegation to show up for an emergency meeting of the commission which is responsible for controlling the peacekeeping forces in Transdniester's security zone since 1992.
The Moldovan JCC representatives have refused to work in the commission since April, when the Transdniester authorities ignored the commission's decision to simplify access to fields for peasants living in several villages located on the left bank of the Dniester River but under Moldova's jurisdiction.
