Norway pulled up for bungling peace talk procedures
Colombo, 16 September, (Asiantribune.com): After a period of appeasement under President Chandrika Kumaratunga and Ranil Wickremesinghe the present Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) led by President Mahinda Rajapakse is now putting its foot down to prevent LTTE get away with violations of peace agreements.
First, the GoSL is insisting that Velupillai Prabhakaran, the leader of the LTTE, should give written assurance to end the violence before the talks could begin.
According to media reports, this condition was laid down when the Norwegian Ambassador, Hans Brattskar, was summoned to the Foreign Ministry on Thursday to explain why it did not observe the elementary duty of consulting the GoSL before announcing a date and a venue for the next meeting. This is the first time that the Norwegian Ambassador was summoned by the Foreign Ministry to explain its conduct.
The GoSL's Chief negotiator Nimal Siripala de Silva and Foreign Ministry Secretary H. M.G. S. Palihakkara met Norwegian Ambassador Hans Brattskar to thrash out the differences.

Norway has always been bias. This is mainly due to Erik Sol. who is a strong LTTE supporter. Also the story is he is banging Prabakarans ex Girlfriend. :-)
Nevertheless, Norway has not done much for this peace process. All they do is try to get the international community against the majority of Sri Lankans and help the Terrorist.
Initially you could say, they are tyring to play politics by helping the ltte, after all in negotiations, you need not to be bias, hence you help both parties. However, in the past months and days, it has been shown that they are bias!!!
Norway should go, Sri Lanka should go with the EU country or the US for this!
