Normandy Four Foreign Ministers to Discuss Situation in Ukraine on Saturday
21:30 GMT 11.09.2015 (Updated: 21:43 GMT 11.09.2015) Foreign Ministers of the so-called Normandy Quartet, comprising Russia, Germany, France and Ukraine, are scheduled meet in Berlin on Saturday to prepare concrete proposals on various issues regarding Ukraine internal reconciliation.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The meeting was made official on Wednesday during a phone conversation between Quartet leaders French President Francois Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. The four discussed the implementation of the Minsk agreements.
The four countries' foreign ministers — Russia's Sergei Lavrov, Germany's Frank-Walter Steinmeier, France's Laurent Fabius and Ukraine's Pavlo Klimkin — will focus on political aspects of the February Minsk agreements, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The ministers are expected to discuss elections in Ukraine's eastern Donbass region, the political status of the region, changes to the Ukrainian constitution with respect to Donbass, as well as the exchange of prisoners, Lavrov said on Friday.
On Thursday, Lavrov and Steinmeier discussed preparations for the Saturday ministerial meeting.
The leaders of the four countries are expected to meet in Paris on October 2, at the invitation of the French president, according to the Elysee Palace.
The Normandy Four was created in 2014 to secure a peaceful settlement to the conflict in eastern Ukraine. In February, the group worked out a ceasefire deal in Minsk, Belarus, signed by Kiev and the Donbass militias.
