The European leaders told Mr Putin they welcomed the cessation of hostilities in Syria over the past week and that they wanted to seize the opportunity to create a "positive dynamic" for UN-sponsored peace talks due to start in Geneva next week.
According to the press service, "the Russian side noted that the decision of Syrian authorities to hold parliamentary election in April is in line with existing constitution of the Syrian Arab Republic and does not hamper steps on building a peace process."
It was noted that the truce must be observed in Syria by everyone with the exclusion of operations against Daesh and al-Nusra Front.
The five leaders held a multilateral telephone conversation on Syria earlier today.
