Russian and Turkish FMs to meet in Belgrade
Russia's RIA agency said earlier in the day, citing unnamed diplomatic sources, that the meeting would take place in Belgrade today, Reuters reported.The agency also quoted an unnamed Turkish MFA official who said the meeting - the first since Turkey shot down a Russian bomber last month near the Syria-Turkey border - was planned for 15:30 CET.
Addressing reporters in Belgrade late on Wednesday, Lavrov said he was ready to meet his Turkish counterpart, and added:
"We wish to clarify the Turkish position, since they are insisting on that meeting, and to hear what the Turks wish to say, beside what they have said publicly. It will be sad if they say nothing new."
