BRUSSELS ? The EU says Mideast negotiators will meet Sunday in Brussels as part of a wider effort to restart the moribund Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
EU spokesman Michael Mann said Friday the focus would be to maintain momentum in encouraging the parties to return to negotiations.
The meeting comes amid international pressure to reach a peace deal by year's end, fueled by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' request two weeks ago that the U.N. recognizes an independent Palestinian state. The Security Council is reviewing the request.
Mediators from the U.S., European Union, United Nations and Russia ? known as the Quartet ? have been meeting sporadically in a so-far fruitless effort to bring the two sides together again. They last met Sept. 23 in New York.
