BEIRUT: Special Tribunal for Lebanon Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare, on a farewell visit to Lebanon, met Wednesday with the prime and foreign ministers.

Sources at the Grand Serail said Bellemare, who arrived in Beirut late Tuesday, met Prime Minister Najib Mikati early in the day away from media spotlight.

Bellemare then headed to the foreign ministry for talks with Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour.

The Canadian judge announced in December that, for health reasons, he would resign from his position when the U.N.-backed court’s first three-year mandate ends in March.

He has served as STL prosecutor since 2009, when he was appointed by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

Bellemare issued a confidential document to Lebanese authorities in October outlining additional steps that could be taken to arrest the four men indicted in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. The suspects remain at large.

Bellemare is also scheduled to meet with Interior Minister Marwan Charbel and Justice Minister Shakib Qortbawi to discuss the STL during his four-day stay.
