BRUSSELS — French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Friday urged all sides in Lebanon to grab a ‘last chance’ next week to finally elect a president after a series of postponements. ‘Monday is really the last chance, and France calls on all parties, inside and outside, to ensure that Lebanon can have a president,’ he told reporters after an EU summit in Brussels. ‘Those would take the risk of killing off that chance would cut themselves off from a number of countries, first among them France,’ Sarkozy warned. Lebanon has been without a head of state since November 23 when incumbent Emile Lahoud stepped down at the end of his term, with rival political parties unable to agree on a successor. A parliamentary session is due to be held Monday to elect a president but it is widely believed it will be postponed, as has happened on eight previous occasions since September. Further destabalising the country was the recent car bomb killing of a senior army commander whose funeral was held Friday.
