BELGIUM/

Belgium's former prime minister Wilfried Martens of the Flemish Christian Democrat party (CD&V) talks to media as he leaves the Royal Palace after a meeting with Belgium's King Albert II in Brussels December 22, 2008. Belgium sought a new leader on Monday to steer it out of both a political and economic crisis, although there was little sign that rival parties could agree who should take the top job.
