On January 10th, Transnistria leader, Vadim Krasnoselski, signed a decree<\/a> to appoint Mikhail Lapitskii as minister of the state security of the breakaway region of Moldova.<\/p>\n

Another decree<\/a> from January 9th transformed the former KGB, the state security committee, into the so-called state security ministry (MGB), which would have over 100 responsibilities in the separatist state. The security institution actually came to its original format, when formed by the Vladimir Antyufeyev, known as Shevtsov or Alexandrov.<\/p>\n

The Transnistrian laws on security, border guard, extremism, terrorism fight provide the legal basis for this security ministry, without clearly stating the responsibilities, right and obligations of this institution. To sum it up, the so-called MGB could conduct activities on ensuring the security of the region, the fight against terrorism, defending and protecting the frontier, ensuring the informational security in Transnistria and forming the directions of activity of the security organs.<\/p>\n

The MGB would take account only of the regional constitution, local laws and the principles of international law implemented in Transnistria. Although it confirms that it must apply the principles of humanism, legality, human rights and citizens’ interest, there is no mechanism legally provided for MGB to ensure those principles, especially the right for private life.<\/p>\n

MGB could form its branches in any security institution of the so-called Pridnestrovian Moldovan Republic: army, border control, special forces, external information research organs.

MGB would also have the right to assist the works of the international organizations in the region, in order to prevent any actions meant to affect the local security.<\/p>\n

Only the president, the government head and the chief of the Supreme Soviet would be informed of potential threats, but it can also be case that MGB can act by itself in case of emergency or conflict.<\/p>\n
