Representatives from the European Union (EU), the United States, United Nations and Russia will meet on Thursday in Brussels to discuss peace plan known as a proposed "roadmap" for the future of the Middle East, diplomatic sources said Wednesday.

EU's special Middle East envoy Miguel Angel Moratinos would meet his counterparts from Russia, the United States and the United Nations, also called as the "Quartet", to discuss details of the presentation and implementation of the plans, sources said.

The meeting coincides with a visit by US Secretary of State Colin Powell, who will hold talks with NATO and EU foreign ministers in Brussels on the future of post-war Iraq.

The Quartet has delayed publishing the roadmap for months at US insistence to avoid putting pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon during a run-up to a general election held on Jan. 28.

The plan will set out steps toward ending violence between Israel and the Palestinians and the creation of a Palestinian state.
