Normandy Four Meeting in Paris Gives Hope for Minsk Deal Implementation
KIEV (Sputnik) – The leaders of Normandy Quartet, comprising France, Germany, Russia and Ukraine, may meet again before the end of the year, Oleksii Makeiev, head of the Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said Wednesday.

According to Makeiev, a possible meeting was discussed by the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany during talks in Paris on Friday.

“There was a preliminary agreement that the [Normandy Four] foreign ministers may assess the agreed promotion of the full implementations of the Minsk deal in November, and the leaders of Normandy Four may possibly meet again until the end of the year,” Makeiev said, as broadcasted by the Hromadske television channel.

In February, the Normandy Four leaders worked out a set of agreements in Minsk to ensure peace in Ukraine, later signed by the Kiev forces and the militias of the eastern Ukrainian Donbass region.

The Minsk deal stipulates constitutional reforms in Ukraine, as well as a ceasefire and weapons withdrawals. One of the key point of the peace deal is the decentralization of power in the country and granting special status to Lugansk and Donetsk as one of the key points of the agreement. The reforms must be concluded before the end of 2015.
