"The decision taken in Astana to establish a trilateral mechanism to observe and ensure full compliance with the ceasefire is a concrete step in further implementation of SCR 2336. We support the UN readiness to assist the parties to the trilateral mechanism in developing such a mechanism, and ensure that it helps strengthen the quality of the ceasefire. The EU is doing all possible to ensure the success of the February Geneva intra-Syrian talks under the UN auspices, notably through its regional initiative on the future of Syria", said the press service.
