Jordan's mediation has succeeded in getting Syrian rebel negotiators back to the table with Russian officers over a final deal that ends the fighting and brings state control over Deraa province, a Syrian opposition spokesman said.
Ibrahim al Jabawi said the two sides were expected to hold talks later this evening in the southern town of Busra al Sham that has already seen four rounds of talks since Saturday that have so far failed to bring any agreement.
Rebel officials say the main differences focus is on whether the rebels surrender their weapons in one go or in phases before handing over their areas to state control under Russian military police supervision.
