Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will hold talks with Swedish top diplomat and Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Chairperson-in-Office Ann Linde on November 19, discussing the organization's assistance in resolving the situations in the Nagorno-Karabakh region and Transnistria, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.

"The parties are expected to touch upon issues related to the OSCE's assistance in resolving the conflicts in Nagorno-Karabakh and Transnistria, as well as the organization's mediation in the Geneva Discussions on Security and Stability in the South Caucasus, and consider its possible role in assisting Central Asian states, who are facing the consequences of the crisis in Afghanistan, which has been an OSCE Asian partner for cooperation since 2003," the statement read in part.
