DPR against OSCE officials chairing Minsk sub-groups

DONETSK. May 15 (Interfax) - Chief negotiator of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) Denis Pushilin believes that representatives of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) should not be allowed to permanently chair the sub-groups formed within the Trilateral Contact Group for Ukraine.

"We have agreed that representatives of the OSCE will temporarily coordinate these sub-groups. But now they are assuming chairmanship functions," Pushilin was quoted as saying at a DPR People's Council session on Friday by the Donetsk news agency.

Pushilin said that he had already forwarded letters to the OSCE criticizing such actions.
