EDITORIAL

Vigilant moderation Discussions among European Union members and EU negotiations with Ankara have not yet come to a final conclusion about the substance and form of the Agreement Text concerning Turkey's accession negotiations. The situation is, as described by a Greek Foreign Ministry source, «extremely fluid,» and nobody can foresee how the sensitive issues that still remain unresolved will be decided.
