The Cairo opposition group is not planning a bilateral meeting with UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura in Geneva on Friday, but does not rule out the possibility of this the following day, the group's leader Jihad Makdissi told Sputnik.

GENEVA (Sputnik) – Earlier on Friday, de Mistura met with the Damascus delegation and the opposition High Negotiations Committee (HNC) delegation to discuss the format and the work plan for the intra-Syria talks that were officially launched on Thursday.

"Nothing is happening so far. I have no meeting with de Mistura scheduled today. Maybe tomorrow," Makdissi said.
