MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On May 17, the Austrian capital of Vienna is expected to host the next ISSG meeting.
"Usually it can not be avoided and such meetings are always held on the sidelines of such events," Gatilov told reporters, answering a question on possible meeting of Lavrov and Kerry in Vienna.
He added that Lavrov's schedule was under consideration for approval at the moment.
The ISSG was formed in November 2015, shortly after the beginning of the Syria peace talks, as a panel of countries seeking to end bloodshed in Syria. It is co-chaired by Moscow and Washington. Among the participants there are also the European Union, the Arab League, China, Iran, Turkey, and the United Nations.
