Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says international efforts are needed to help seal Turkey's border with Syria.
Lavrov, speaking in live televised comments from Belgrade, says Thursday that coordinated action from all parties would be needed to shut the border.
His statements came after a bilateral meeting with Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu on the sidelines of an international meeting in Belgrade, the first high level face-to-face contact since Turkey's downing of Russian jet.
Turkish FM said on Thursday it would be unrealistic to expect all problems to be solved with Russia after a single meeting, but it was important to maintain open communication channels.
Lavrov said his Turkish counterpart "said nothing new" regarding the incident that gas badly strained Moscow-Ankara ties. Çavuşoğlu offered him Turkey's condolences over the death of the plane's pilot.
