“I am not expecting a breakthrough, but I am expecting and determined for keeping a very proactive momentum,” de Mistura added, highlighting the need to “outpace” those wished to “spoil” the negotiations and see that it come to nothing.
“There is a rush between us and the spoilers (…) we have to outpace those few but clear spoilers with momentum on the political track,” he added.
On the eve of the UN-facilitated negotiations between the parties to the conflict in Syria, de Mistura said he would be continuing to push for a resolution to the conflict based on a Security Council resolution that endorsed a road map for peace process in war-battered Middle East nation, including non-sectarian governance, a new constitution and free and fair elections.
