GENEVA, (ST)-UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan De Mistua’s meeting with the Syrian government delegation to Geneva talks, scheduled to be held today at 12:00 p.m. Damascus local time, was postponed, according to UN sources.
On Sunday, the United Nations announced in a statement that Mistura would meet on Monday at 12:00 the delegation of the Syrian Arab Republic and the “al-Riyadh opposition” delegation at 18:00 of the same day within the framework of the Syrian-Syrian dialogue.
Mistura had a meeting with the Syrian government delegation at the UN headquarters in Geneva on Friday and managed on Saturday to unofficially meet the “Riyadh opposition” delegation in one of Geneva hotels to convince members of the delegation to take part in the dialogue without preconditions.
