“Undoubtedly, we appreciate his contribution as a professional, as a specialist, as a diplomat to the Syrian settlement, in the negotiation process. This is a person who was heard by both conflicting parties and international mediators. They evaluated it differently, but this is understandable: it is impossible to get approval of everyone at once on such a complex issue, ”she said.
The diplomat recalled that the Russian side with de Mistura worked "more than densely at all levels."
“As for his future activities, and directly the issues of functioning in this post, I think these are questions of the future and it’s too early to talk about them,” she concluded.
Earlier, Staffan de Mistura said he was leaving the post of special envoy of the UN Secretary General on Syria.
