Vladimir Putin and U.S. President George W. Bush will discuss a range
of hot-button issues
when they meet at the Bush family home in Maine on July 1-2.
Putin foreign-policy adviser Sergei Prikhodko said Iran's nuclear activities, the future of the Serbian province of Kosovo, and U.S. plans to deploy elements of an antimissile system in Central Europe will top the summit's agenda.
Moscow and Washington have clashed on all three issues.
