COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -- The European Union's foreign policy chief Javier Solana said a meeting with Iran's top nuclear negotiator had been set for Saturday, but would not reveal where.
"I have said it will be in two days," Solana said at a news conference in Denmark. "Today is Thursday so it will be Saturday. I prefer not to say the place."
A senior Iranian envoy on Wednesday abruptly announced that a meeting between Solana and Iranian nuclear envoy Ali Larijani had been postponed. It had tentatively been set for the same day in Vienna.
The talks were a final attempt to see if there was common ground to start negotiations between Tehran and the six nations that have been trying to persuade Iran to limit its nuclear program.
"Everything that can be done should be done," Solana told reporters in Copenhagen of the upcoming meeting. "I hope it will produce some fruits."
Solana earlier said plans for the Vienna meeting fell through because of "problems of calendars from one side or the other side, particularly from their side."
On Wednesday, Ali Ashgar Soltanieh, the chief Iranian envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency, said the meeting had been postponed because of "a procedural matter."
In Tehran, Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said only the time and place of any meeting continued to be "under discussion by both sides."
Iran defied an Aug. 31 deadline by the U.N. Security Council to freeze uranium enrichment.
Still, the five permanent council members and Germany -- the six powers attempting to entice Iran into negotiating on its nuclear program -- had decided to hold off starting work on sanctions until the outcome of any talks between Solana and Larijani.
Senior negotiators of those six countries were to meet in Berlin on Thursday to plan their further Iran strategy.
Solana was in the Danish capital for previously scheduled talks with the Danish government.
