Syrian Gov't, Opposition Must Have Right to Veto in Transitional Body
GENEVA (Sputnik) — The head of the Syrian government delegation at the intra-Syrian talks in Geneva said on Sunday it was premature to speak about a transitional period for Syria, as the UN-brokered talks are about to resume.

"This discussion will come at appropriate time," Bashar Jaafari told reporters.

The fresh round of intra-Syrian talks is expected to start on Monday morning at the UN headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.

Earlier on Sunday, UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan De Mistura paid courtesy visits to the delegations of both the Syrian government and the opposition and outlined the program for the talks.
