GENEVA (Reuters) - The prospects for a new round of Syria peace talks should be clearer after the U.N. Security Council discusses options on June 29, U.N. Syria envoy Staffan de Mistura told reporters on Thursday.

De Mistura said he had accompanied U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon last week to St Petersburg, where they had "quite a comprehensive and long meeting" with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that mostly focussed on Syria.
