The European Union is closely following the settlement of Karabakh conflict, head of EU delegation to Azerbaijan Kestutis Jankauskas said.

“I understand how delicate the Nagorno-Karabakh issue is,” he said.

 Jankauskas added that the EU is not dealing with this issue directly, but it is closely following the settlement process, APA reported.

“We keep this the process of the conflict’s settlement in the spotlight, on both local and international platforms. There is a format working for the settlement of the conflict.
