Reports: Quintet ambassadors may call for dialogue, Berri to chair it

The ambassadors of the five-nation group for Lebanon are trying to resolve two lingering points: who should call for dialogue over the presidency and who should preside over it, an informed source said.

“The new proposal that the quintet’s ambassadors will promote in their expected meetings with the parliamentary and non-parliamentary forces entails that it would be in charge of calling for dialogue while Speaker Nabih Berri would preside over it later, which means that each camp would be offering a concession,” the source told the PSP’s al-Anbaa news portal.
