TIRASPOL, December 2. /TASS/. The social and political situation in Transdniestria has deteriorated - supporters of President Yevgeny Shevchuk who lost last Sunday’s parliamentary elections, have called on the people to stage a rally on Wednesday demanding a probe into the voting legitimacy. The prosecutor of the unrecognised republic, Alexander Deli, on Tuesday evening warned the organisers of the protest, planned to be held at the building of the Central Election Commission (CEC) in Tiraspol, of responsibility for their action.

"I warn all public and private media and citizens against calls for taking part in illegal rallies and gatherings, as well as citizens against taking part in them," he said in a statement posted on the website of the prosecutor’s office. The warning says that the law enforcement agencies have information that "these actions may entail serious, unpredictable consequences." Deli warned that "in case of non-compliance with the warning requirements, the prosecutor's office will consider the issue of bringing those responsible to account by law."
