BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentina's President-elect Alberto Fernandez and outgoing leader Mauricio Macri met on Monday to find a way to smooth the tricky political transition with the left-leaning Peronists set to return to the presidential palace in December.

The hour-long meeting over coffee after Fernandez won a decisive victory in an election on Sunday, is something of a peace offering amid an economic crisis that has hit Argentina's nearly 45 million people and pushed the country towards default.
