Harare: Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe said on Monday that marathon power-sharing talks with the opposition were about "little hurdles" and the rivals were reaching consensus on the way forward.
But an opposition source said a power-sharing agreement was being held up by Mugabe's refusal to give up executive powers.
Mugabe was set to resume talks later on Monday with opposition leaders on a deal that could end a post-election political crisis and raise hopes of economic recovery.
