HYDE PARK, New York (CNN) -- Divided over Bosnian peacekeeping efforts and NATO expansion, U.S. President Bill Clinton and Russian President Boris Yeltsin met in private Monday, but Washington officials doubt the leaders will resolve their differences. Clinton greeted Yeltsin at Hyde Park, New York, about 50 miles north of New York City, for talks that included a working lunch. The meeting was scheduled to last about three hours. Later, Clinton was expected to hold a news conference; the Russian president was not expected to participate.
The site for the third Clinton/Yeltsin summit of the year was the birthplace and sanctuary of former President Franklin Roosevelt. The scenic Hudson River Valley location was chosen as symbolic of World War II cooperation between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Monday's talks came as the largest gathering of world leaders in history continued in New York City to mark the U.N.'s 50th anniversary. Clinton and Yeltsin addressed the General Assembly on Sunday. The presidents of France and South Africa and the prime minister of Great Britain were among those who addressed the United Nations on Monday.
