Specific date of Normandy Four meeting unknown yet

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky does not know the specific date of the meeting of advisers to the leaders of the Normandy format countries but assures that it is being prepared.

"I don't know when the meeting [of advisers] will take place. I have information that it is being prepared in the near future," Zelensky said at a joint press conference with President of Slovakia Zuzana Čaputová in Bratislava, answering a question from an Ukrinform correspondent.

At the same time, he stressed that the meeting of advisers should be efficient, after which it would be possible to hold a meeting of the Normandy format countries’ leaders.

"I don't know when the leaders' meeting will take place, so I won't lie, but I know that the efficient meeting of advisers should be followed by the next meeting - the meeting of the leaders," the President said.

As reported, President Volodymyr Zelensky makes a state visit to Slovakia on Thursday.

A preliminary meeting of advisers to the leaders of the Normandy format countries took place in Berlin on September 11. Last week, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky expressed hope that the next meeting of advisers would take place within ten days, after which a summit of leaders would be possible.
