Wide shot of meeting STORYLINE: 25 EU foreign ministers sat down for a new session of negotiations on the first-ever EU constitution. The meeting comes one week after talks failed to narrow deep differences over a constitutional draft, which should be finalised by the June 17-18 summit of government leaders. Irish Foreign Minister Brian Cowen, who chairs the meeting, remained optimistic Monday's session would be able make progress on "the most sensitive" issues declaring the situation "not unsolvable". Up for debate Monday was a new drive by Poland, Italy, Portugal, Lithuania, Malta, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, backed by the Vatican, to push their demand that the Christian religion be mentioned in the draft. The place of religion in the charter's preamble has been hotly debated since negotiations on the constitution began in early 2002 and so far only gets an indirect mention.
