EU urges Timor solution

European Union foreign ministers have urged the new Indonesian government to work with the United Nations to find an internationally-acceptable solution to the East Timor question.

Their remarks were echoed by the Nobel peace prize winner, Bishop Carlos Filipi Ximenes Belo, in an interview with a Spanish newspaper.

He said all sides must be prepared to make concessions, beginning with the Indonesian army and then the guerrillas in East Timor.
