MOSCOW. Dec 19 (Interfax) - The head of the Palestinian delegation to the talks with Israel, Saeb Erekat, is due to arrive to Moscow this Sunday for a Monday discussion with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov of a draft resolution of the United Nations Security Council regarding the timeframe for creation of the Palestinian State, Palestinian Ambassador to Russia Faed Mustafa said.

"I can say that Saeb Erekat will arrive this Sunday. He is meeting with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday," he told Interfax.
