OSCE urges to speed up mine clearance in Donbas

"I remind the parties that demining works, especially around the checkpoints along the contact line and in the areas where it is necessary to repair the infrastructure, should be completed before March 31," Hug noted. As reported, the members of the Trilateral Contact Group on settling the conflict signed the document on mine clearance at 12 coordinated sites along the contact line in Minsk early this month. The parties pledged to identify areas and prepare mine clearance maps until March 31st.
