Self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic denies reports on ending cooperation with OSCE mission
DONETSK. July 29 (Interfax) - Sergei Kavtaradze, a member of the Security Council of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), has denied media reports on the DPR's decision to end cooperation with the OSCE mission.
"I personally talked with members of the OSCE mission in Donetsk today, and they are deeply concerned about the impossibility for experts to be at the Boeing crash site. After Ukrainian armored vehicles' breakthrough toward the crash site, military actions are taking place there, the crash site is being altered, and important evidence might be destroyed," Kavtaradze said.
The DPR will continue cooperation with the OSCE and international expert services, he said.
"We favor all possible cooperation with any expert services and international experts, including the OSCE ones, working at the Boeing crash site. We haven't imposed any bans here," Kavtaradze told Interfax on Tuesday evening.
