Jan. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Iceland is meeting with the U.K. and Netherlands today to try to restore relations after President Olafur R. Grimsson blocked a bill that had set out to compensate the two countries for depositor losses.

Iceland’s Finance Minister Steingrimur Sigfusson will meet with his Dutch counterpart Wouter Bos and U.K. Treasury Minister Paul Myners to “exchange information and discuss the status” of the so-called Icesave accord, according to an e-mailed statement from the office of Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir today.

“The meeting isn’t defined as negotiations,” Einar Karl Haraldsson, Sigurdardottir’s spokesman, said in a telephone interview. “I wouldn’t hold my breath over this meeting.”29-Jan-10.
