The OSCE Chairperson-in-Office and Serbia\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0549\u0084\u00a7s Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has expressed concerns over the recent developments along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and the Line of Contact surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh,<\/p>\n

<\/strong>\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093I would like to urge the sides to ensure a full cessation of hostilities as stipulated in the May 1994 agreement,\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d Trend News Agency quotes him as saying. \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093I deplore the upsurge in acts of violence resulting in loss of lives, and I call on the sides to demonstrate responsibility and avoid steps that would lead to further escalation.\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d<\/p>\n

The official added the contacts between presidents and at other levels, remain central to progress, adding that they must be underpinned by a full ceasefire and cessation of hostilities.<\/p>\n

\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093The meetings in 2014 between the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Sochi, Newport and Paris were positive steps in the right direction,\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d he said.<\/p>\n

Noting that OSCE continues to facilitate direct contacts, Mr Dacic said that it only the parties alone can and must enforce a ceasefire.<\/p>\n

He reportedly reaffirmed support for the Personal Representative Andrzej Kasprzyk, who is charged with encouraging direct contact, and with helping the parties develop and implement new and much needed confidence-building measures.<\/p>\n

\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093I also strongly support the joint efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, especially those aiming at strengthening the ceasefire and developing a common basis for negotiations,\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d he said. \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093I encourage the parties to make full use of the OSCE toolbox and to take measurable steps towards a peaceful and lasting settlement.\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d<\/p>\n
