Sides in Syrian civil war interested in signing peace deal in Prague, says Zeman

Czech President Miloš Zeman says the two sides in the civil war in Syria are interested in signing a peace deal in Prague. Syrian government and opposition representatives are currently in talks in Geneva over a cessation of the four-year conflict. Speaking in New York on Tuesday shortly before a speech to the UN General Assembly, Mr. Zeman said both sides were already speaking about a Prague declaration, though this would likely take some time to come about. He held talks with Syrian’s foreign minister, Wallid Muallem, and had planned to speak with opposition figures but they failed to make the meeting on time.
