We call on the sides to continue its implementation and coordinate humanitarian steps, such as the handover of bodies of soldiers,” says a press release from the European Union External Action Service.

At the same time, EU Special Representative Toivo Klaar continues his high-level consultations in Baku yesterday and in Yerevan today, as mandated by EU High Representative Josep Borrell.
