The implementation of the Minsk agreement needs to be accelerated for sanctions to be lifted from Russia, Germany's Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said in Belgrade, Tuesday. Speaking at a joint press conference with Serbian Foreign Minister and current OSCE Chairperson Ivica Dacic and Swiss Foreign Minister Didier Burkhalter, Steinmeier added that it is too early to assess a lift of sanctions, as the implementation of the Minsk agreement is currently limping. "Unfortunately we relapsed in the recent days," Steinmeier said. Dacic expressed a neutral position on the issue saying that Serbia is "not delighted about sanctions," because it has experienced a similar situation before, as he referred to US sanctions against former Yugoslavia in the 1990s. The press conference followed a meeting between the three OSCE representatives, where the Ukraine crisis was discussed. As a result the ministers decided against further sanctions against Russia.
