| With crisis escalating, Venezuela's Maduro to meet opposition |
|
 By Andrew Cawthorne and Daniel Kai CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro was to sit down on Sunday with opposition representatives and foreign mediators, a gesture his foes suspect is a time-wasting tactic to ease pressure on the unpopular socialist leader. The opposition Democratic Unity coalition has stepped up protests since authorities scuttled its push for a referendum this year on Maduro's rule, which polls showed he would have lost, triggering a presidential election. Maduro has said he will personally attend Sunday's meeting, expected to take place in Caracas, while coalition secretary-general Jesus Torrealba will represent its nearly 30 different opposition political organizations.

 By Aleksandar Vasovic BELGRADE (Reuters) - Serbia's Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said on Sunday he did not believe he had been subject to an assassination attempt, seeking to calm tensions after the discovery of a cache of heavy weapons on a route regularly taken by his motorcade. The weapons, which included a rocket launcher, hand grenades and rifle ammunition, were found in bushes in the neighbourhood of Jajinci, near a crossroads where Vucic's motorcade normally slows on his frequent visits to his parents' home. "Someone could have simply dumped weapons there by chance," he told reporters at a press briefing held to discuss a visit by an International Monetary Fund mission.
