It is noted that at the center of the conversation was the question of preparing a possible summit in the "Norman format."
“The two sides were unanimous that the conditions for such a meeting were met after the trilateral contact group on October 1 agreed on further deployment of forces on the conflict line, on the procedure for local elections in parts of eastern Ukraine, and on the entry into force of the special status of this region ", - said in a statement on the website of the German government.
Earlier, the Permanent Representative of Russia to the OSCE, Alexander Lukashevich, at a meeting of the organization’s Permanent Council in Vienna, assessed the conditions for preparing for the summit in the Norman format.
