OSCE "roadmap" envisages national dialogue, investigation into crimes in Ukraine

MOSCOW. May 12 (Interfax) - The OSCE proposals on Ukraine envisage the launch of a national dialogue along with investigations into crimes, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

"I am not sure it can be done in the near future, but we believe it is extremely necessary to call for a national dialogue on the basis of the proposals elaborated by the OSCE chairman," Lavrov said after meeting with his Ugandan counterpart Sam Kutesa in Moscow on Monday.

"This needs to be done simultaneously with investigations into the crimes that have been committed. It is also envisioned by the 'roadmap,' which is promoted by the Swiss chairmanship," the minister said.
