"I believe the meeting of Nogaideli and Kokoita will take place before November 15," Georgy Khaindrava said.
Khaindrava said he and the prime minister would go to the Georgian-Ossetian conflict zone October 30 to visit both Georgian and Ossetian villages and talk with the locals.
"The exact date of the meeting will be announced after the visit," he said.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, South Ossetia broke away from Georgia along with Abkhazia - another self-proclaimed republic in Georgia - following ethnic and territorial conflicts in the early 1990s. The conflicts were considered frozen when a western-oriented Georgian leader, Mikhail Saakashvili, came to power.
Saakashvili succeeded in regaining the Ajaria autonomy in May 2004. Attempts to regain South Ossetia, which borders on North Ossetia-Alania, a Russian republic, brought Georgia to the brink of war last summer.
Russia has played a proactive role in the conflict settlement, something Georgia has objected to, calling it an attempt at "annexation."
