The European Union will signal its interest in reopening a political dialogue with Zimbabwe on Saturday when a high-level EU delegation meets government leaders on the first such visit to the African nation for seven years.

EU diplomats cautioned against expecting a breakthrough from the talks, in which the Europeans will be represented by Fredrik Reinfeldt, prime minister of Sweden, which holds the 27-nation bloc’s rotating presidency, and Karel De Gucht, the EU commissioner for humanitarian aid and development.
