VIENNA, December 10. /TASS/. The Contact Group participants will directly discuss the date of the regular meeting in Minsk, Russian Ambassador at the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Andrey Kelin told TASS on Wednesday.

The parties succeeded in coordinating positions on such issues as the disengagement of troops and the exchange of prisoners, he said.
