The leader of the YABLOKO party Grigory Yavlinsky was involved in long-standing consultations at the Kremlin on resolution of the situation with the hostages taken by terrorists at the theatre on Dubrovka, Moscow. The details and names of the meeting participants will not be publicised, as this could affect the negotiations held in a closed regime.

Previously the leader of YABLOKO had negotiated with the terrorists. Yavlinsky spent over one hour in the building of the theatre.
