Geneva, SANA – UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura said on Thursday the cessation of hostilities in Syria is holding but remains fragile after six days.
“The situation therefore could be summarized as fragile, success is not guaranteed but progress has been visible,” de Mistura told reporters.
He said there were incidents where the cessation of hostilities was breached, noting that there were contacts to contain those incidents.
“The important thing is to start the momentum reaching the point when the political aspect will be addressed because that is what will make the endgame a stable one in Syria,” the UN Syria envoy added.
The cessation of hostilities in Syria started on Saturday in implementation of a Russian–U.S. agreement adopted unanimously by the UN Security Council in accordance with Resolution No. 2268.
However, the agreement was breached 52 times by some terrorist organizations, according to the Russian center at Hmeimeem base that is coordinating the cessation of hostilities.
De Mistura plans to start a round of Syrian-Syrian talks on March 9.
