Moscow hopes that the sides will continue full-scale realization of all the obligations assumed. In this context, "the priority goals for the Palestinian National Authority are the efficient ending of terrorist acts, continuation of reform of the power structures and, for Israel, the liberation of Palestinian prisoners and the withdrawal of troops from other Palestinian populated places, including the removal of block posts, as well as measures to improve the socio-economic situation on the Palestinian lands", the commentary reads.
"This is called upon to create conditions for the resumption of full-fledged political process in keeping with the Roadmap", the commentary stresses.
