Bush and Putin to hold four-hour summit in Bratislava

AFP: 1/24/2005
BRATISLAVA, Jan 24 (AFP) - US President George W. Bush and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin will meet for four hours during their summit next month in Slovakia, Slovak officials said here Monday.

Slovak officials have proposed the summit be held in Bratislava Castle, set on a hill in the historic old centre of the Slovak capital but Washington and Moscow have to agree with the venue for the February 24 summit.

The castle is surrounded by protective high walls, and US and Russian experts are due to arrive in the city at the end of this week to discuss the venue.

1. Poor Putin. Can you imagine having to talk with Bush for

four, long hours? Cosmic payback for his years in the KGB, I guess.
