The U.N. envoy for Syria says he’s not expecting a breakthrough in the first peace talks under U.N. supervision in 10 months.
Staffan de Mistura spoke Wednesday, on the eve of planned talks between Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government and the opposition.
De Mistura said he was “determined” to maintain “a very proactive momentum” in the talks, which will focus on new elections, a new constitution and governance in the country, riven by nearly six years of war.
