Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will meet his Turkish counterpart Mevlüt Çavu?o?lu on Dec. 3 at 3:30 pm local time on the sidelines of an Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe meeting in Belgrade, Turkish diplomatic sources told the Hürriyet Daily News. 

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday said he was "willing to meet his Turkish counterpart" during the OSCE summit in Belgrade this week.

AFP is reporting this will be "the two countries' first high-level face-to-face talks since Ankara shot down one of Moscow's warplanes" in Syria.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavu?oglu will meet Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on the sidelines of an OSCE conference in Belgrade on Dec. 3-4 for the first face-to-face meeting between high-level Turkish and Russian officials since the downing of a Russian jet on Nov. 24.

President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an has repeated his call to Russian President Vladimir Putin for a face-to-face meeting in Paris on the sidelines of the Global Climate Summit to talk and to resolve ongoing bilateral crisis after a Russian warplane was downed by Turkey on Nov 24.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said that Russia will suspend its visa-free regime with Turkey from the beginning of next year.

"This is directly linked with the security of Russia and our citizens," TASS quoted Lavrov as saying following a meeting with Syria's Foreign Minister Walid Muallem in Moscow.

Russia said on Nov. 27 it would suspend its visa-free regime for Turkish nationals from Jan. 1 as it retaliates against Ankara for the downing of a Russian warplane.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an appeared set to increase tension with Russia in the wake of his country's downing of a Russian jet on Nov. 24, vowing that his country would offer no apology for the incident.

Turkish and Russian foreign minister "could meet next week in Belgrade," Beta is reporting, quoting foreign news agencies.

The meeting between Melvut Cavusoglu and Sergei Lavrov would come in the wake of Turkey's shooting down of a Russian warplane on the Turkish-Russian border, said the report.

Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said the downing of a Russian jet by Turkey was a “planned provocation.”

Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday during the press conference that Moscow will re-consider its relations with Ankara following the shooting down of the jet on the Turkey-Syria border, but he didn’t mention any specific measures Russia would take.
