MOSCOW - Whether the Contact Group on Ukraine can extend its meeting on Aug. 3 by one more day can only be decided at that meeting, a source in the entities organizing the talks told Interfax on Aug. 3.

“A proposal to extend the work of the Contact Group to August 4 has been received from one of the parties. The final decision will be made by the Contact Group at its meting in Minsk on Monday. If the Contact Group sees that it is unable to discuss the whole agenda in one day, then the work of the group could be extended to the following day,” the source said.
