Negotiations: chief mediator sees movement in Belgium's state crisis

For nine months, Belgium has no functioning government - now reports Reynders's chief negotiator at the talks if divided parties. Soon one could take "real negotiations", the liberal leaders. In the halting debate on a government in Belgium could apparently soon get moving. "There is a broad desire for negotiations, which is shared by all interlocutors," said Didier Reynders agent in Brussels.


You can now "real negotiations" with respect to record an administrative reform. Previously, he was King Albert II presented its final report. Didier had not found a compromise in weeks of talks. Belgium since June 2010 without government - which is a record in Europe. Experts now believe that only fresh elections can end the ongoing crisis.

Just four weeks ago, the liberal leaders Reynders searched for a compromise in the stalled negotiations. He had proposed, among other things, to expand the executive coalition government of Christian Democrat Yves Leterme, the Flemish nationalist N-VA. Several parties have criticized this initiative sharp.

On Tuesday urged leaders to form a new government without the participation of the N-VA. During the negotiations, the two winners of the parliamentary election of 13 posts June 2010, the French-speaking Socialists and the N-VA, compared with. A total of seven parties, argue from the Dutch-speaking north and French-speaking south of the country on a government reform.

This will bring more powers for the divergent regions. It is also about more billions of dollars to the regions of the country and the division of an electoral district on the outskirts of the capital Brussels. The reform will be considered for the formation of a government.
