Russia, EU don't intend to change format of talks on frozen conflicts
Moscow supports EU's wish to be more active in settlement of frozen regional conflicts but doesn't think it expedient to change the format of talks, according to Russia's Foreign Minister.

"It's inexpedient to break the format of talks now," Sergei Lavrov said during Russia-EU summit in Khanty-Mansiysk, RIA Novosti reports.

The summit focused on the Kosovo problem and frozen conflicts in the CIS: the Georgian-Abkhazian, Georgian-South Ossetian, Nagorno Karabakh and Transnistrian conflicts.
