Because addressing subjects that prompt division is not very wise during a reconciliation process, the issue of the computers property of slain leader of the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) Raúl Reyes will not be in the agenda of Friday's meeting between Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and his Colombian counterpart Álvaro Uribe.

In any case, analysts think that this matter will mark Colombia-Venezuela future relations.

Félix Arellano, an expert in international affairs and scholar with the Central University of Venezuela (UCV), explained that the bilateral projects to be initialed by both presidents in western Falcón state in the area of energy and infrastructure "will have to go slowly and calmly, because there is the need to see first if President Chávez gains confidence in the face of the information related to the FARC."

He added that if the Venezuelan president "feels that the issue of the Reyes' laptop is being silenced, he could boost the bilateral relation;" otherwise, actions to stop said projects could be expected. "There is some crack that may be opened, which is not necessarily in the hands of President Uribe," said Arellano.
