opportunity to review U.S. positions, she emphasized that the
March 28-29 Foreign Ministers' Gymnich meeting will be a
closed session limited to informal "brain storming"

a particular emphasis on pressing for an EU focus on
enhancing the European perspective in the Western Balkans.
Katzourou further noted that a meeting of Westep
