CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's opposition said on Tuesday it will not send representatives to the Dominican Republic for talks with President Nicolas Maduro's government due to lack of progress on issues from human rights to elections.

Following months of anti-Maduro protests earlier this year that led to at least 125 deaths, both sides sent delegations to meet the Dominican Republic's president this month for talks over a possible solution to Venezuela's deep political crisis.
