The leader of the political wing of the Tamil Tigers, S. P. Thamilselven revealed their position after a meeting with the Head of Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission Ulf Henricsson.

The talks are scheduled to happen on the 8th and the 9th of June.

Thamilselven told the media that the preparations of the talks are already underway. "Members of the Tamil Tiger delegation for Oslo will be announced within the next two days." the LTTE political leader told the media.

"Despite the EU ban the talks will go on." said Thamilselven.

"EU ban and the arrival of US envoys happen as a result of government lobbying the international community and giving a one sided view of the conflict this is not the cprrect way to do things", he added.

Ulf Henricsson confirmed the Tamil Tiger participation in Oslo talks and added that he had visited Kilinochchi to discuss the arrangements for the talks.

"The meeting in Oslo will pave the way for further mutual inderstanding between the parties." said the Head of SLMM.
