EU experts join Aceh peace talks
Security issues and foreign monitoring were on the table as European Union observers yesterday joined Indonesian government officials and Aceh separatists on their fifth day of peace talks in Helsinki, mediators said.
"The delegation of the Indone-sian Government and the representatives of the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) are to discuss security issues in general and monitoring of a potential agreement in particular," the Crisis Management Initiative, CMI, which is hosting the talks, said in a statement.
Finnish president and career diplomat Martti Ahtisaari, who like in three previous rounds of negotiations this year is mediating the ongoing talks, "met in the morning the EU experts acting as observers at the talks on Monday", CMI added.
