The Russian and Georgian delegations arrived Wednesday afternoon at the United Nations office in Geneva to begin their third round of talks since they went to war in the summer. The talks are expected to focus on refugees, displaced people and security in the region.

Also expected to attend the meetings are representatives from the United States, European Union, UN and Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), as well as the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

The second round of talks held last month were deemed "constructive" by the participants, which improved on the first meeting a month earlier, when the Russians and Georgians did not sit in the same room.

Russia and Georgia waged a five-day war in August, which began over the region of South Ossetia.
