The EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia Toivo Klaar said he was encouraged to hear Armenia's and Azerbaijan's leaderships’ willingness to work together with the European Union in addressing the multiple challenges following the 2020 large-scale hostilities. In a series of tweets Toivo Klaar summed up his recent trips to Armenia and Azerbaijan. 

"Important to continue humanitarian efforts and crucial work on recovery of bodies of missing, including from the 1990s, and for confidence-building measures such as prompt return of all detainees and cooperation on pressing needs, including to address the impact of mines," the EU representative added. 

In another tweet Toivo Klaar pointed to the need to cease negative public rhetoric. "Planning to be back in the region soon to pursue consultations on how the European Union can be the most useful in assisting both Armenia and Azerbaijan in the context of current challenges," said the Eu official.
