As talks on the crisis in Syria kicked off in Geneva, the UN Special Envoy for the war-torn country acknowledged he is not expecting a breakthrough but the proactive momentum needs to be sustained.

The UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura said in Geneva yesterday it is critical that the momentum provided by the negotiations “outpace” those that wished to see the negotiations come to nothing.

“There are spoilers, we have seen it all the time during the last talks and perhaps they may even be attempting or tempted to (do) something before or during the talks to provoke one side or the other to walk out,” he said.
