US embassy cable - 04BRATISLAVA793

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(SBU) Per reftel, econoff delivered non-paper and discussed 
single talking point with Mr. Krizan, from the MFA's Department 
of European Security and Arms Control.  Krizan indicated that the 
GOS supports the additional protocol (AP) but thought that the UK 
and Austria were working on a new draft of the proposal that 
would be more amenable to the four skeptical countries.  He 
further commented that the AP was in line with the EU strategy 
and he was therefore unsure why France was still balking at the 
issue.  It is also the GOS's impression that Argentina may be 
more willing to reconsider its position but that Brazil was not 
likely to alter its opinion on the AP.  Krizan agreed that the 
GOS would lobby France and Russia on behalf of the UK/Austrian 
plan, but not Argentina and Brazil with whom Slovakia has little 
influence.
