Lavrov confirms his visit to Berlin on September 14

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has told journalists that he will visit Berlin on September 14.

"I’ll go there," he said, TASS reports.

In late August, a diplomatic source told TASS that Lavrov’s visit to Germany is scheduled for mid-September. The visit is expected to include negotiations with German Minister of Foreign Affairs Heiko Maas. The minister will also take part in the closing of the Russia-Germany cross-culture year.
