Icelandic Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir is set to visit Brussels this week, mostly to discuss the Icesave issue.
Reuters reported that Sigurdardottir will meet with European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso tomorrow to go over Iceland’s interactions with EU members the Netherlands and the UK over Landsbanki’s failed Icesave accounts in the countries, which are now demanding repayment.
The Icelandic PM said she will also be discussing Iceland’s application for EU membership.
The news agency reports that talks in the Hague last week did not yield any clear progress on the possibility of renegotiation and on Tuesday, Iceland brushed off speculation that it was looking for a mediator to seek a solution.
Details of Sigurdardottir’s trip and who she plans to meet are being kept quiet. Tomorrow’s meeting with Barroso is only known about because it appeared on his website for a short while before being removed again, RUV reported.
Icelandic politicians may be trying to keep everything within highly secretive talks, but hopefully the will allow the referendum to be public…
THERE ITS GOES AGAIN ICELAND WITH HAT IN HAND TO BEG FOR MONEY IN BRUSSELS ADMIT YOUR WRONG DOING BY ICESAVE IN ICELAND AND SURRENDER SOME SOVEREIGNITY PAY UP TO THE TERMS TO BE CONSIDER A GOOD EUROPEAN LAND PAY UP ICELAND NO MORE STUPID EXCUSE.
Lets be pragmatic in dealing with the Icesave problems and maximized all options for a common good with due respect for all, as Icesave was not the doing of all Icelanders but a few.
