The European Union will pay special attention to demining and addressing the issue of missing persons, the EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia, Magdalena Grono, said in an interview with Report.

According to Grono, together with Baku and Yerevan, they explored how the EU could be most helpful in supporting Azerbaijan-Armenia normalization and broader regional cooperation.

"At this stage, we have identified several areas, with the understanding that the EU stands ready to also do more. In Baku and Yerevan, we agreed that the EU would continue its support to ongoing Azerbaijan-Armenia bilateral talks, would focus on concrete aspects of connectivity and humanitarian issues, especially regarding demining and addressing the issue of missing persons, and would also promote regional cooperation initiatives," the EU official said.
