AW: German political parties and elections
Quote:
Schröder to meet Merkel, but a meeting of minds is unlikely
Germany's chancellor Gerhard Schröder will today hold talks with his rival Angela Merkel, despite little prospect that either of them is prepared to back down in their battle to become the country's next leader. The two will hold exploratory talks about a possible "grand coalition" between Mr Schröder's Social Democrats (SPD) and Mrs Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU) following Sunday's inconclusive election.
