[01] Solana - Mideast contacts - Athens04/04/2001 12:35:53A high-ranking Israeli delegation, led by Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, is continuing to meet in a downtown Athens hotel suite with representatives of the Palestinian Authority, EU High Representative Javier Solana told reporters here on Wednesday. ?I have a well-founded hope that the meeting will normalise the situation in the Middle East,? the former NATO secretary general said in brief comments after a meeting with Greek Prime Minister Costas Simitis at the latters office. Solana, in the Greek capital to speak and attend a three-day ?leadership roundtable? organised by the London-based ?Economist? group, also said he briefed Simitis over his recent talks in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) as well as covering EU-related issues and the situation in the Balkans. Solana added that he met separately with a Palestinian delegation on Tuesday evening before holding talks with Peres early Wednesday morning. He told reporters he was returning to the hotel suite where Israelis and Palestinians were reportedly holding the unscheduled talks.
