MOSCOW. June 27 (Interfax) - A new round of consultations on the peace process in eastern Ukraine will be held in a multilateral format involving OSCE representatives, a source in the Donetsk People's Republic government told Interfax.

"The participant composition will be the same. For instance, Ukraine's second president Leonid Kuchma will partake [in the consultations] and the attendance of Russian Ambassador to Ukraine Mikhail Zurabov and special representative of the OSCE [chairperson-in-office] Heidi Tagliavini is expected," the source said.

The OSCE mission will have a broader representation at the consultations, "there will be one or two OSCE representatives more," he said.
