British Prime Minister David Cameron, French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel will discuss Syrian ceasefire with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a conference call, the Daily Sun informs citing AFP report.

“Tomorrow is an opportunity for the leaders of the UK, France and Germany to come together... and make very clear to President Putin that we need this ceasefire to hold, to be a lasting one and to open the way for a real political transition,” the newspaper reports quoting Cameron’s spokeswoman.

On February 26 UN Security Council adopted a resolution endorsing the cessation of hostilities between parties in the Syrian conflict, except for terrorist groups. Resolution demanded that all parties taking part in the cessation of hostilities “fulfill their commitments,” which mainly includes ceasing attacks, as well as airstrikes, refraining from acquiring territory, and granting access to humanitarian aid.

Later, UN Special Envoy on Syria, Staffan de Mistura reportedly said that he hoped the Syria peace talks would reconvene on March 7, if the ceasefire "largely holds".

Speaking in parliament on Wednesday, British PM David Cameron said the ceasefire was “an important step forward, imperfect as it is”, as it opened the way to the prospect of political negotiations.
