Brussels, 20/07/2001 (Agence Europe) - The visit to Central Africa that was to be made next week by the European Union's High Representative for foreign policy, Javier Solana, has been postponed by one month. The visit should be made at the end of August with Belgian Foreign Minister Louis Michel. According to the spokesman for Mr Solana, Cristina Gallach, cited by the Belga Agency, "this deferral is linked to the worrying situation in the Balkans, mainly in Macedonia, and to a lesser extent to the way events have developed in the Middle East". The four-day visit, initially planned from 22 July, would have taken Mr Solana to Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo and to Rwanda.
