ADVERTISEMENT Negotiating teams began the first day of their meeting on the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) behind closed doors at the Russian mission in the western Swiss city, a Russian diplomat said. "The Americans arrived as expected at 11.00 am (0900 GMT) at the Russian mission to start the second round," she said. Officials from both sides said few details were expected to filter out of the scheduled three-day meeting, which sets the scene for a US-Russian summit on July 6 to 8. First results from the START negotiations, which began in Moscow two weeks ago, are due to be unveiled by presidents Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev when they meet in the Russian capital, a Russian diplomat said. US State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said in Washington: "On the details of the negotiation, I think we prefer to keep that in private right now. I think that's just the best way to conduct these kinds of negotiations." The agreement to hold the disarmament talks marked the first tangible step in the thaw in US-Russian relations heralded by the Obama administration. But they are dogged by the controversy surrounding US plans for an anti- missile defence shield partly stationed in Europe, a project which has angered Russia. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton handed Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov a mock 'rest' button in Geneva when they met for the first time in March and hatched the work plan to renew START. The treaty signed in 1991 just before the break-up of the Soviet Union, which committed both sides to deep cuts in their nuclear arsenals, is due to expire on December 5. Analysts were not expecting swift progress. On top of the complex technical issues involved in the landmark treaty, which took a decade to negotiate, Russians and Americans are hampered by differing ambitions. Lavrov last month reiterated Moscow's desire to take account of the planned US anti-missile shield in Europe during the START talks. But US officials insisted that while they "intend to discuss the full range of issues around missile defence" they were not ready to do so "in the context of the START talks". Obama has ordered a review of planned extensions into Europe of the defence shield, which the United States has insisted is meant to counter an Iranian threat. Russia regards the shield, which would partly be based in former eastern bloc countries close to its borders, as a threat to its own security. "The sides are not in the same position. Obama needs a result to demonstrate that the 'reset' of US-Russian relations is getting somewhere," said Evgeny Volk of the Heritage Foundation. Veteran disarmament expert Jozef Goldblat suggested an elegant way out: a five-year extension of START that would give time for negotiations on a "broader" disarmament deal between the world's biggest nuclear powers. But the talks under way now could also allow Washington to generate a climate "propitious" for help on other issues where it needs Moscow's support, such as Iran and North Korea's controversial nuclear programmes, he said.
