"O situaciji do koje je između strana došlo mora se razgovarati, i ako nije postignut sporazum -- a mi shvatamo da nije -- pregovori se moraju nastaviti i treba se imenovati novi specijalni izaslanik," rekao je ruski sekretar u Vijeću sigurnosti Igor Ivanov pred ruskim vijećem za vanjsku i odbrambenu politiku u nedjelju (18. mart).
"The situation that has taken shape between the parties must be discussed, and if no agreement has been forged -- we understand it has not -- the talks must be continued and a new special envoy should be appointed," Russian Security Council Secretary Igor Ivanov told Russia's Foreign and Defence Policies Council on Sunday (March 18th).
