The long-awaited reconciliation between Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea and Marada Movement's Suleiman Franjieh is expected to take place at the Baabda Palace under the auspices of President Michel Suleiman.

The daily An-Nahar on Saturday attributed the report to a Maronite League source.

"The League has managed to overcome a condition by Franjieh that he refused to meet Geagea with the absence of Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun," the source said.

Aoun, according to the source, said he has no problem with Geagea that requires reconciliation, therefore, opening the door to a Franjieh-Geagea meeting.

However, the source added, the League failed to arrange a bilateral meeting between Franjieh and Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir.

Sfeir would receive Franjieh only as a member of a joint delegation of reconciling Maronite leaders, the report added.

However, it hasn't been determined if the delegation would visit Bkirki first or the Baabda Palace, it noted.
