"The main attention, of course, if you remember, is now being paid to the issue of constitutional reform ... We are approaching the moment when, apparently, there will already be positive progress in this matter," he said.
According to Lavrentiev, the Syrian government and the opposition submitted lists of candidates.
"Now we are discussing the issue on the third fairly important group - representatives from the Syrian civil society," the diplomat concluded.
At the end of January, following the results of the Congress of the Syrian National Dialogue in Sochi, Special Envoy of the UN Secretary General for the SAR Staffan de Mistura announced the formation of a constitutional commission of representatives of the government and opposition of Syria.
June 19 in Geneva, a meeting took place de Mistura with representatives of Russia, Iran and Turkey - the countries - guarantors of the ceasefire in Syria.
Negotiations were devoted to the formation of a constitutional committee.
