Belgrade: The foreign ministers of Turkey and Russia met Thursday on the sidelines of an international gathering in Belgrade, an official said, in the first high-level bilateral talks since the downing of a Russian warplane by Turkish jets sparked an unprecedented crisis.

"The meeting between the two foreign ministers has begun as scheduled," the Turkish foreign ministry official told AFP. The start of the meeting on the sidelines of the ministerial council of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe was also confirmed by a diplomatic source in Belgrade.
