No progress yet on Donbas prisoner swap issue- OSCE representative

MINSK. Aug 23 (Interfax) - There is no progress yet on the issue of prisoner exchange in Donbas, Martin Sajdik, who represents the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in the Trilateral Contact Group (TCG) on Ukraine, said.

Today it is hard to say whether any progress has been made, he said. Discussing this issue is very difficult, it involves people's lives and should be approached responsible, Sajdik said.

Unfortunately, today one cannot say that there has been concrete progress on this issue, Sajdik said after the TCG meeting in Minsk on Wednesday.
